Details:

Saturn 10 months apart. I used a Meade 12" LX200R with a 1.5x barlow lens giving an equivalent focal length of 6096mm at f/20. A Lumenera SKYnyx-2-0 video camera was used to produce a video file that was processed with ImagesPlus 3.5 software. PhotoImpact 11 was then used to scale the picture by 1.5x and add the date captions. Saturn's moon Rhea was visible just above the right ring about midway between the planet and outer edge of the ring.
