I got correct seeing one week ago, allowing me to take a view of Tethys and its shadow transiting on Saturn's globe. Here are all of the L and RGB images:

The storm STrZ which was visible last 2 months can not be seen on this image.

Here is a composition, with enhanced luminosity for (from left to right) Dione, Enceladus, (Saturn/Tethys), Mimas et Rhea.


here is a composition with heavy treatments (not for scientific usage) of Saturn and all its 8 satellites. It's best viewed in real size, so please magnify the image in your browser:


An animation shows the transit better:
