Just about everything that could go wrong did,but after fumbling for about 4 hours and losing all my Lunar images I was able to get a decent Saturn.
See attached for details.

I woke up at around 1am this morning to image the egress of Titan's transit on Saturn. The sky was overcast from around 1am to around 1:50am!! I was fortunate to see the end of the transit which is really stunning as it gave Titan a 3D effect! Condition was average. This will be my third Titan transit this season! Visually,Titan was prominent at around 350X.
Titan is about to exit Saturn's disk! Note that Titan looks reddish! Note also the dark barge just north of the SEB! It is prominent in the animations below.
There will be two more transits visible this year. The one of Feb 24 is special as it will be a quadruple transit of TItan,Mimas,Dione and Enceladus. At around 14:25UT on that day,all 4 moons will be within Saturn's disk!!

Apologies for sending the Photoshop file by mistake. I hope it didn't cause a
problem.
Seeing was poor, but some interest here as a spot is probably visible in the N
edge of the EqZ in the R image f the CM. I measure the longitude as I=136.2. It
could be the same as that recorded at I=88 on Jan 7 (Wesley) and I=100 on Jan 17
(Buda).
The blueness of the southern temperate regions, noted by others as a new
development, is visible .
