Hi Mike. I'm no expert, but John's animation looks remarkably like this one http://pds-rings.seti.org/saturn/ani...turn_spoke.mov

It looks like the spokes can extend across much of the B ring with fairly high contrast under the right conditions, so they could possibly be visible from earth - it's quite stunning if John did image them. Be good if others could try to image the same effect.
