9 Saturn investigations: Margie's students and Yerkes Collaboration Student Predictions - Board Work

10 Saturn investigations: Margie's students and Yerkes Collaboration Saturn on other nights You can find more sets of images of Saturn and other objects at http://astro.uchicago.edu/yerkes/outreach/observing/yerkes24/2008images/ Can you identify the moons in this image?

11 Saturn investigations: Margie's students and Yerkes Collaboration Try Subaru Image Processor Makali’i Download Makali’i (means Pleiades in Hawaiian) from http://makalii.mtk.nao.ac.jp/index.html.en Remember to register your software. Then open up a set of Saturn images. Set up the contrast so you can see the moons.

12 Saturn investigations: Margie's students and Yerkes Collaboration Auto Contrast Setup

13 Saturn investigations: Margie's students and Yerkes Collaboration Blink to watch the ‘seeing’ change the quality of the images.

14 Saturn investigations: Margie's students and Yerkes Collaboration Sometimes it looks like a moon is double! ‘Poor seeing’ creates kind of a double exposure. Seeing: Different temperatures and densities of bubbles or layers of air in the atmosphere refract the light first this way, then that way.

15 Saturn investigations: Margie's students and Yerkes Collaboration Hubble Space Telescope is above the Earth’s atmosphere... No worries about ‘seeing’ conditions out in space! http://heritage.stsci.edu/1998/29/index.html
