Saturn at Opposition (Seeliger Effect?)

Although not ideal conditions the last week with quite a a bit of cloud coverage the conditions were still quite stable and I was still able to get a few shots off for opposition. I thought it would be interesting to do a comparison with shots made on the 24th to see if I could record the Seeliger effect (temporary brightening of the rings at opposition). I did near-identical capture parameters and identical processing and assembled in GIMP.
To my eye I reckon I can see a small change but pretty hard to confirm as the seeing was a little better during opposition so will have had an effect.
