Saturn + binary stars

I've just posted Saturn video clip taken Sunday night [Mar 1] showing the rings nearly edge-on with stills from same camera of satellites Titan and Dione via my telescope - at the end of 2009 the rings 'disappear' is earth passes through the ring plane.

Also a short video of binary stars Algieba [gamma Leonis] and Castor [alpha Geminorum] also taken last Sunday. Binaries are double stars where the two stars can be seen to orbit each other over several decades or more.

Hope the videos of of interest
