Here's a really spectacular composition. Lots of complicated geometry and lighting going on here! I can't wait to see this assembled in colour. http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/multimedia/imag...2/W00065213.jpg

Well, that was a short wait! smile.gif

Just a personal thing, I like to have the ring plane below my feet rather than over my head so I prefer your version rotated to match the raws. A particularly nice touch in this extraordinary view is the way the shadow of the far side of the rings (though itself invisible on the far side of Saturn) makes a gap in the light refracting through the atmosphere.

Ahhh..... I was wondering what was causing that. Thanks!


Here's an fly-by type animation of the global images of Dione.
