Titan on Monitor at Keck
Pre-impact image of 9P/Tempel 1

A screen shot taken on April 18, 2006 by Alan Midkiff of an image of Titan which was downloaded only minutes before he arrived during a behind-the-scenes tour of the Keck Observatories. The (green) disc is 0.8 arcsec across. The seeing that night was 0.6 arcsec, further improved to 0.04 thru the Keck II adaptive optics.
