The best Saturn I've seen with a 150mm scope this season! However, there seems to be an obvious mistake in your shooting date.

Thank you!
Yes, I noticed the mistake. I set the date based on the folder name after FireCapture, but the time there is in UTC and is 3 hours earlier, so that's why the error occurred.
