Did Saturn lose its rings?
¿ªÔÆÌåÓý
Can someone take a few nice pictures of Saturn over the month of March 2025? Ostensibly our observation angle on earth should make the rings of Saturn "disappear" over March. It will make for a beautiful educational set of pictures and thank you.
Moshe?
p.s. I am spending the Spring semester in Europe as a Fulbright US Scholar, no telescope for me...

Moshe:
While Saturn will not lose its rings until March 23, it is now setting at 6:30, making it challenging to see without a low horizon in the west. I haven¡¯t looked at it for a couple of months, but I hope to as soon as the mud hardens up. As you know, I¡¯m not an APer, but if the weather cooperates, I¡¯ll try a shot or two without the detailed processing that most of the APers do. George |

Hello George,
Many thanks for the swift reply, it will be nice to have a few pictures to show the process of "losing the rings", and good luck with fighting the low horizon and the mud. Watch out for black ice.
The news from home is beyond belief. Is this really happening or AI generated news?
Moshe

As a Fulbright scholarship? Moshe, that's exciting and I'm sure we'll earned! Congratulations for representing the US while you are there.? Not sure I have the Western horizon anymore. Saturn is so low now that it's hard and thick (atmosphere wise) to reach.

Excuse the auto correct.? I wrote Fulbright Scholar and it autocorrected to scholarship.? My apologies for not reading over my messages before hitting send. Sorry Moshe, our Scholar at TAAS? - even if it is a page or chapter before them. I loved that line.
