Saturn right after opposition

This composite of Saturn was made under excellent seeing conditions and generally transparent skies. Good seeing and transparency rarely come together, but this time they did. As explained in previous submissions to EarthSky, because of the surrounding ocean, my observing location in the Caribbean generally enjoys good seeing.
