Another attempt at Saturn this morning under challenging conditions (almost 100% humidity with a cool spell after the recent rains). I captured quite a but of data, but only ended up with two usable results.
I think that the orientation is correct (I suspect it was wrong in my image of 5 April), based on the Winjupos template.
I assume the dark equatorial line is a combination of the dark underside of the rings (-0.9deg inclination) combined with the ring shadow(Sun is +0.4 deg)
