As I post these images, the Cassini Spacecraft is now doing a "Juno".  
It is doing a close approach into Saturn that it will go inside the ring!  
When I woke up, the sky was mostly cloudy and the ground was still wet due to a recent thunderstorm.  
But the sky cleared long enough for me to take these images.
The rings of Saturn are wide open now. The Polar Hexagon is still very distinct.  
The dark polar core can also be seen.  There are some low contrast white spots on the NEB.
