Still digging through AVIs from Winter Star Party. Another nice
one from a different night. I like the coloration of this one
perhaps better. Slightly more detail. Ball of planet seems
visible through outer A ring, but not B ring.

I like how the Crepe Ring has transparency over near the edge of the planet's edge. Wow.

Phenomenal John 8O

Never seen so many shades of colour on the planet: simply fantastic.

the 2 images you've posted from the WSP are no doubt the best I've ever seen.

Ciao
