I assume that anybody here has heard about this by now. It's still a worthwhile sight in the evenings to come. I got photos of it on the three nights of closest approach, and by mixing in a long exposure for Saturn's moons (counterclockwise: Rhea, Tethys, Dione, Titan) with various exposures for other bodies, I got this photo with ten solar system bodies. A dim random star sidled alongside Ganymede.
Here is my best image, and an animation of the trio.

That's the best I could do with poor conditions in south of France on Dec 22nd.
