I think, as we move on in our orbit, Saturn's shadow starts to fall across the rings on one side and that will aid our ability to resolve the rings at 20x and 30x. Sometime in last May, observing around 7-8pm should be the maximum shadow, I believe.

That's good news, because looking at Saturn is just so much fun, if as you say it gets better, I can't wait. Tell me honestly, the rough image I provided below, is this how you see it, or have seen it, given some leeway for my shaky drawing?
