Saturn Sketches and Observations
Here is a collection of some of my Saturn sketches and observing reports I have made over the years. The first time I observed Saturn through a telescope was in 1974, and I made my first sketch of it in 1975.
You can select the sketches individually from the list below or select one and scroll down to the bottom and the click the arrow button to view the rest of them.
The Saturn Nomenclature page has information on how to identify features in Saturn's atmosphere including belts, zones and the rings.
