@Night: San Diego. Saturn !!!

While Jupiter and Venus are lighting up the western sky, Saturn is rising in the south east. Saturn's rings are fully facing the earth ( checkout  Lord of the Rings ) and I hope to do more imaging of Saturn through the summer.

Saturn is just 1.2 billion Kilometers from earth :)

My first video capture of Saturn!  Any jittering and rotation you perceive are due to atmospheric disturbances :)
