SNBY also shows shadows.

There are many events involving Mimas almost on a daily (nightly?) basis.

Not sure how easy it would be to see Mimas and it's shadow.
Titan should be easy though.

Also, not sure if a simulation like this of Saturn would take in to
account the light travel time from Saturn.
From vague memory...my Mars stuff from Mars '01,'03,05 didn't need
that taken in to account to simulate what I saw.

Thanks Steve. Sydney is 1/2 hr ahead. Will definitely give the shadow transit a go on the 24Jan around 1:30 am. Don't forget Titan's shadow will transit before the transit of Titan itself due to the sunlit from an angle.
