Thanks for the A.L.P.O. Saturn Section pdf file Trevor.

I see that the cardinal points are drawn for Saturn as viewed in the N hemisphere through an inverting telescope.

I always have some fun with the mental gymnastics involved in having to rotate the view by 180 degrees, or flip (Vert) and then flop (Horz) the view to obtain the perspective from down under!

Cheers
