Saturn & Satellites Close to Opposition

Saturn and four of it's many satellites three days (20240905) before opposition. Nothing thrills people more than seeing Saturn live in a eyepiece. The only thing better is solar total eclipse. The satellites are seen as only specks in the photograph so zoom in!
