Titan (Saturn's Moon)

Taken on 1 June 2017 with ZWO ASI224 MC Camera, connected to Celestron NexStar 6 SE Telescope.

Video was captured by SharpCap, processed in Registax 6 and touched-up in PhotoShop, with overexposed Saturn (merely just a bright oval) cropped out.

 

Titan has a distinct yellowish orange colour, believed to consist of Tholins. However, its atmosphere consists mainly Nitrogen, but also small amounts of Methane, Ethane and Hydrogen.
