BAZ Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 There were some cracking images this month, but Ibbo's Saturn is a stunner, there's great belt detail and a hint of Encke Gap as well. Thanks to everyone for their contributions, put together that's a lot of hours work. Thanks for the round up Phil. Good un' mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
