I'd be interested to hear what Anthony thinks about the 'spokes'. To be honest, I doubt very very much whether it would be even remotely possible to capture them from Earth, especially at that focal length.
I see the 'marks' on the rings in the animation too, but it could be dust motes, or something else. Even Damian Peach's or Anthony's best images never show a hint of the spokes captured by space craft which are a hell of a lot closer to the planet than we are.
The encke division is certainly possible, but it's also easy to 'simulate' the encke gap by over-sharpening.
Not taking anything away from John's beautiful image.
