This is an image I took last Saturday showing Saturn and two of its Moons (Titan and Rhea) setting behind the tree line of a mountain called Cerro de la Mitras located in Monterrey, Mexico. The distance to the trees was about 3.5km which is why I was able to focus them at the same time as Saturn.
This was taken with a Celestron Nexstar 6SE, a .63 focal reducer and a ZWO ASI533MC camera.
Even with your explanation my mind struggles to comprehend this image and I think, nah OP took a pic of the moon and needs to clean their camera lense.
Awesome shot!

Fun fact: Saturn has two moons that swap orbit every four years… to stay minty fresh 😎

I’m mindblown. Are there certain times every year where Saturn is so clearly visible like this? Is it always this close to see with just binoculars?

Wha?!! That’s crazy. How long was the exposure?

Meanwhile, I take a picture of the Moon and it’s a microscopic dot

I take a picture of Saturn and it’s a white dot blended in with a bunch of other white dots

Hi all,
