About this image

This image is through cirrostratus cloud. There doesn't seem be such a thing as a properly clear evening these days. The image is a failure because I was hoping to record Hyperion which was a fraction to the left (following) of Titan. But no luck. Dione is in view but lost in the rings between the disk and Tethys. Mimas is behind the planet. However Iapetus has crept into the frame, hard up against the left-hand edge.
