Titan Transit Images – Wrap Up for 2009

The last transit of Titan across Saturn for 2009 occurred last week, on the 12th March. Unfortunately, yet again, I was clouded out for the event so I have had to live and love it through the images of others.

Some friends of mine from IceInSpace and other forums were able to capture some great images of the transit. It was quite a difficult one to capture because it started when Saturn was still quite low.
