Saturn with Titan Shadow transit, March 28

I was out with my refractor on the mount tonight (taking images to produce a Periodic Error graph of my mount of all things) when I decided to take a peek at Saturn. With my powermate and 9mm nagler in place, I would see a tiny shadow on the planets surface. I should have checked to see what was happening withg Saturn tonight, if I'd known there was going to be a titan shadow transit I would have taken my C11 out to cool down. Anyway, pulled out my Toucam, and grabbed a couple of clips.

At F/15 in the 5 inch refractor (with my 2.5x powermate), the image scale was still quite small, so I have resampled the image 150%
