saturn animation

Hi all,

Here's a 4-frame animation of Saturn from the 19th, the time delay between frames is about 6 minutes. The animation helps to show cloud detail, especially in the bright equatorial region just above the rings.

It also helps to see Rhea, which is otherwise hard to spot in transit.

The image size comes in just under the 200kb limit, but the conversion to gif degrades the images quite a bit.

cheers, Bird
