Saturn

My best image of Saturn to date. The moons were in a lovely pattern very close to the planet. You should be able to see Titan, Rhea Tethys and may just be able to make out Dione to the left of its lable. Enceladus is not visible in this image but would also lie just left of its lable if it could be seen.
