Observed Saturn last night with the Ealing 16", trying a series of planetary filters - orange 21, yellow, blue 80A and green. Orange 21 appeared to best sharpen a cloud band on the disk in the southern hemisphere and Cassini's Division. the two WOS (world orbiting storms) in the southern hemisphere were not detected visually but could have been on the planet's backside. - Kurt P.S. - Misc test with Ealing for planetary imaging at low alt ~35 degs and poor seeing. - http://gallery.utahastronomy.com/main.php?g2_itemId=11380
