Saturn Pre-Opposition 2025

Saturn has been "edgy" for the past several months, and I was able to capture it as it nears opposition with a ring tilt of a scant two degrees! It was striking as it rose brilliantly in the ESE sky near midnight, heralding the event to come. I'll definitely be out there for the opposition, which serendipitously occurs just a few days before the equinox!
