Image Details:

Saturn is back in the skies, so happy to finally image it, though it can be seen/imaged easily now, for me it has to clear the front house which obstructs my views.
Have been waiting patiently to start the planetary season 2023.

Delhi skies have been under cloud cover consistently, witnessing coolest May in years. Not only the building obstruction had to wait for the skies to be decent enough to image, finally it happened, here's my first image of the season.
