This is just a teaser and I'm looking forward to the finished images.

However it always amazes me how disappointingly non-detailed pictures of planets can be even on the most powerful telescopes. Because they're that far away! It takes something like Cassini going all the way there to give us a better look.

That said, the most powerful view of Saturn for me was the one I saw with my own eyes through a local telescope. It was just a little blurry thing but just actually seeing it there with the ring shape with my own eyes was indescribable.
