Tom,
Outstanding! I didn't realize you had both the planet AND shadow until I
watched the animation. Then I went back to the still image and spotted
Titan silhouetted right on the limb. I've seen plenty of shadow transits on
Jupiter, but this is the only one I've seen (vicariously) on Saturn. Nice
work, and thanks!
