Chopin would have liked the efficiency of this very short story spanning 4 years of imaging:

I hope to be able to continue this project until the rings are edge on - then perhaps back again!
If you follow the links through the image, I have included a page with the RGB components. Notice an eine kleine encke division in the blue image. smile

thanks for looking -
Alan

Hi Alan,

impressive how consistent the quality of your captures over the 4 years is - a great timetravel animation. Hope we see a lot of years added to it 8)

Best wishes,
Oliver

Superb! The consistency of the image quality from
year to year is impressive (though I expect it
was really a lot of work to get a few "best" images).

Great job Alan! Really cool idea and very educational too. I really hope you'll be able to assemble the whole series "back'n'forth" smile
