Saturn on other nights
• You can find more sets of images of Saturn and other objects at
http://astro.uchicago.edu/yerkes/outreach/observing/yerkes24/2008images/
• Can you identify the moons in this image?

• Remember to register your software.
• Then open up a set of Saturn images.
• Set up the contrast so you can see the moons.

Blink to watch the ‘seeing’ change the quality of the images.

Sometimes it looks like a moon is double!
‘Poor seeing’ creates kind of a double exposure.
Seeing: Different temperatures and densities of bubbles or layers of
air in the atmosphere refract the light first this way, then that way.

Hubble Space Telescope is above the Earth’s atmosphere...
No worries about ‘seeing’ conditions out in space!
