Thanks Dennis, yes it all is pretty amazing, Saturn 120,000 km diameter and at a distance of about 1.4 billion km and to see the relative size of Titan compared to the diameter of the shadow that it throws on Saturn. To be able to see much detail of this from Earth with amateur equipment is amazing, what would Galileo have made of it, I wonder.
