Fortunately there was a double transit of Dione and Enceladus. From the images you can clearly see Dione and it's shadow. There is a hint of Enceladus following Dione in the animation below. Tethys is on the right.
The belt detail is very nice. The rings are very bright now with 1 day to go before opposition!! All in all,it was a magical night!

a RGB color experiment in the methanebands on 620-727-890nm.
A tip I got from my friend Arnaud van Kranenburg who is much more at home
on the  wavelengts.In near future I will try to improve this one with better filters
and more frames on these bands.
