MDAS IMAGING SIG

Our Special Interest Group was created to help MDAS members create astronomical images using CCDs, webcams and digital / film cameras.

Please join and view the calendar for information on Meeting (second Tuesday of every month, unless noted) or Event dates.

The MDAS Imaging SIG is affiliated with the Mount Diablo Astronomical Society and is/was setup as a forum for MDAS members only.

SATURN'S SUBTLE SPECTRUM

Images taken using red, green and blue spectral filters were combined to create this color view, which approximates what the human eye would see. The image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on March 16, 2006 at a distance of approximately 2.1 million kilometers (1.3 million miles) from Saturn.
