Bumping this up. You will find a debate going on over in Alex's thread on the Encke Gap, concerning the merits of claims related to equipment, resolution, etc. It is definitely worth reading if your contemplating the Encke Challenge 2020.

A reminder that opposition is 21 July 2020.
For those that do not own equipment that can resolve the Encke Gap, it could still be possible if you can "find a friend" who has the necessary aperture, and willing to share some eyepiece time. This extends to hiring the necessary astro grunt as well.
We might even be able to organise a Virtual Saturn Party, on a night of exceptional Seeing; watch this thread for details.
