Images of Saturn Taken with an AOTF Imager

Caption

These are example images of Saturn taken with an AOTF imager mounted on the 3.67-m advanced electro-optical system (AEOS) telescope at the Maui Space Surveillance Complex (MSSC). The data were acquired on UT 8 February 2002. Images were acquired in nearly 160 wavelengths between 500-950 nm, which enabled a detailed study of the cloud structure and aerosol properties of Saturn's equatorial region.
