We had a nice early evening of viewing at the VCO on April 17th. Saturn has been moving towards its 15 year edge on rings on September 4th. Seeing condiitons were only fair so this video captured view averages out the view.

My thanks to John McDonald and Alex Schmid for controlling the telescope and helping frame the object on the small video chip.
