About this image

Saturn, Rhea's shadow and Rhea immediately underneath and also below them in the southern hemisphere I've been able to pick out a white oval storm as well. Seeing earlier in the evening had been poor so it was a releif when everything settled down in the latter part of this transit. The neatest image I've managed of Rhea and its shadow and the first time I've caught Rhea itself in front of Saturn.
