Very nice Jim! I love the hint of the C ring in front of the planet's orb. I wouldn't know how to do it, but I'm sure you can make it show all around and it would a great sight There must be a trade off between globe's detail and C ring: hope you find it so your images would be just perfect!!

Ciao Jim

A SUPERB image Jim! Perfect colour and proessing to my eye! AND the storm too boot. Speaking of which I'm glad you made it back home though that terrestrial snow storm!

Great work, Jim - that shadow on the rings is growing fast!

Thanks guys!
You are going to laugh when you hear how I got the color to come out correctly. Someone mentioned a planetary filter I should try so I bought it. I can't remember the name but if interested I'll get it for you. Anyway i removed the baader IR filter and put it on my Atik color camera. When I focused in the filter was too dense and the image was too dim. Off came the filter. I put the Baader IR back on and lo and behold the color was right! Yikes, how did that happen?
