Saturn - The Bringer of Old Age

Saturn is the 6th planet from the Sun and the second largest gas giant in the Solar System, following Jupiter. It is easily visible in the night sky at the right time of the year.

I took this image while I was waiting for the clouds to clear on my main imaging target. It consists of 3 x 60 second videos with each of the RGB filters, extracted with Autostakkert and combined and sharpened in PixInsight.
