This page shows you the observed images of Saturn in the season of 2023.
The Saturn has been positioned in the constellation of Aquarius, has the opposition on Aug 28 in fairly high up of the southern skies in autumn. The Saturn's central latitude is less than +10 degrees, the ring that opens to the north has become fairly thinner. The detailed structures like the Cassini's gap are somewhat difficult to observe.
