This is an image of Saturn taken through our Clark telescope at SCSM. Our telescope shows a beautiful view of the rings...the rings of Saturn are visible even in a small backyard telescope.You may also be able to see a few cloud bands on Saturn itself if you zoom in. This image was taken during a teacher workshop as part of the observatory’s statewide K-12 distance learning program.
