Wes,

That is really a striking image. I never grow weary from seeing Saturn.

Well done!

That image is as good as the HST probably. The detail seems impossible to
get even with
stacking from a backyard telescope. I guess we just have to believe it even
though that image is unbelieveable.

If I got a result like that, I would have to wonder. That image of Saturn is
probably the best image possible from anything on earth.
I wouldn't publicly post something that good. It just seems impossible.
