The irony is that astrophotographer Andrew McCarthy would end up capturing Saturn from California, where he had recently moved to Arizona in search of darker skies for his work. .

In search of relief from the ongoing monsoon season, McCarthy left his home in Arizona to capture some celestial events, including the recent August full moon and Saturn opposition.

Yuma, Arizona, initially had a promising forecast with calm skies, so that's where McCarthy was en route when the forecast changed.

After a few hours, McCarthy produced an incredibly detailed image of Saturn and its rings.

Using a telescope and two cameras, McCarthy used an infrared light filter to capture the shape of the planet and the rings.

The image above is actually many images layered to capture the stunning detail of Saturn and its rings.

Now back in Arizona, McCarthy said he is still excited to make it his new home base.
