Saturn animation, Feb 19

Here's a 6 frame animation of Saturn from Feb 19, I wasn't happy with the normal animated-gif style as it loses a lot of image quality, so I've butchered up a javascript animator that shows the original jpegs much better.

The animation shows Rhea in transit as well as its shadow and a good amount of low-contrast cloud detail.

regards, Bird

Superb!! It is interesting how much subtle cloud detail the
eye pulls out from the animation. I can't see 80% of that
stuff in a single frame.

Outstanding Anthony.

Impressive detail in the rings given their current position and so early in the season.
