Curious, though, about the reddish color in that southern belt. Is that
a photographic artifact?
Dan,
Like any astronomical image, there is some artistic license involved in
the color rendition. The colors can exaggerated by how much of a boost
in saturation is done in the image processing. Perhaps I got a bit
carried away. I'd like to make claim that Saturn would look exactly
like my image if you were viewing it from a Saturn orbiter, but I won't.
