I was also going to point out that it's extremely unlikely that Darren saw the Encke division in a 10" scope. The Encke division is only 325km wide, well outside the resolution of a 10" scope at 0.35" wide.
It would really require a much bigger scope with very high magnification and incredible seeing. It would also be best seen when the rings were at their full tilt, like last opposition.
Not saying he didn't see it, just that it's unlikely and didn't want newbies to get the impression that a 10" GSO dob will let them see the encke gap every night.
