On the whole, it's damn near impossible to get pristine rings and still bring up enough detail on the globe to look interesting.

Bring back Jupiter, it's a whole lot easier...

I assume that seeing cells are the source of the ghost images that can appear in individual avi frames - no way to process them out.

re Jupiter - it's not so easy at 30 deg alt
