There are some gorgeous crescent saturn images coming down in the raws at the moment.

You can really see how oblate saturn is.

Jaw-dropping, amazing work, everyone! I've been waiting for these perspectives for years. One question for ugordan specifically regarding the natural color views: Looking at the difference between your processed images of Saturn and JPL's, the pronounced blue tones in the northern hemisphere seem much more muted in yours. I know next to nothing of the characteristics of the filters or the technical aspects of combining them, but what would we actually see If we were there? I've had many questions from friends about that unearthly (and once-unsaturnly) blue, as it gives the place an unfamiliar look to them. I'm inclined to guess your processing is more accurate, especially as you've cranked out hordes of wonderful color products that JPL seems averse to releasing. Anyways, congrats to Ian, yourself, and others in this thread. I will certainly have a difficult time kicking you off of my desktop.
