About this image

This was my final IR set after imaging Saturn at intervals over two hours and was the set that came out the strongest. The rings look a little more edge on again now. If the seeing (which was OK) had been just a little better I might have had Enceladus visible in the image as well but it wasn't quite good enough seeing to pick it out.
