    In this photo made with only 14 minutes of interval we can see well how the IR pass filter 685 nm easily highlights some formations. In the specific case the polar hexagon and the polar hurricane eye become much better contrasted and therefore easier to visualize.
    The HD star 168233 with magnitude estimated at +9.25 is easily visible in the color photo but in the IR photo it was already behind the planet's disk.

    14 minutes? Lordy, Avani! You even managed to drag out the crepe-ring(s). Is that another 'star peeking out of the rings in the left Saturn image I spy?

    Very intriguing work!

    And thanks for sharing them,

    Dave

    14 minutos? Senhorinho, Avani! Você ainda conseguiu arrastar o anel crepe (s). Essa outra estrela está espreitando para fora dos anéis na imagem esquerda de Saturno que eu espiei?

    Trabalho muito intrigante!

    E obrigado por compartilhá-los

    Dave
