One of my last changes to image a transit of Rhea. The satellite is there,but due to incoming fog the shadow transit was not observed successfully.


I have re-processed my May 28 avi's and just only handpicked frames. This tedious work did pay off as you may notice.

The angle of sunlit on Saturn(Ds) is now only 1,1°S and therefore the rings are very dark ; the difference is striking with images taken a few weeks before (althought there was also an opposition effect)

For my 20th observation of this apparition,i finally imaged a transit despite average conditions. Moreover,i got 2 satellites transiting.
And even better,i caught Enceladus in transit,which i never saw clearly on all of the images i've seen for this apparition!

it took a while,but .... despite a diminishing case with Saturn ... yet to fix: Rhea transition.
Too bad that it was so late,but got her!

Here is an image from May 28th under fair conditions showing Rhea approaching transit. Enceladus is also over the disk and possibly faintly detected whilst its shadow is obscured by the rings. Mimas and shadow are also in transit though niether are detected.
