I've had an ongoing challenge to obtain the best view I could of Saturn and its rings using my 20x80 and 30x100 binoculars.
While I'll sure I can see them now, I'm looking forward to more definition and I wonder if that will come as Saturn's shadow starts to fall across the rings in the coming months. I extracted the views of Saturn shown in Astronomy Australia 2007 and put them in the attached picture, marking in the extent of the shadow (it's in a .tif file, so I had to zip to attach it).
It seems to me that April/May should have maximum shadow and that may be quite clearly seen. Anyway I'm looking forward to trying.
