Hi. I am hoping that you might be able to assist me in a project that I am leading for students at my school. We are investigating the "opposition effect" of Saturn. We are keen to gather as many images and measurements of Saturn for about a month either side and including opposition on 4 April 2011. We wish to see if the "opposition effect" (or cat's eye effect) is detectable this year. Images would be wonderful (with the time they were taken). We would like to calculate the intensity of light from the rings compared to the intensity of light from the planetary disk. We would like to plot the ratio of these over time. Could anyone help us with photometric data, please? Regards Ian (Skip)
