About this image

Very difficult conditions for imaging this transit of Titan: intermittent cloud and Ant III-IV seeing. The image is a processed stack of 1200 frames from the only video of reasonable quality, captured just before the sky clouded over completely. The dark spot on the disk is Titan. The faint brighter spot next to the ring plane to the east is Rhea. No other satellites are visible.
