Does Saturn change colour over time? |
Thanks Troy, partly the rings are dimmer because they are tilted only about 5 degrees to the sun, they will get brighter in the next couple of years.
most of the difference in colour probably comes from changes to the way I process things, maybe now I'm getting closer to the right colour :-)
But also I guess Saturn changes over the years, like Jupiter does. When you compare old images like this:

it does look quite different.
