Iapetus transit of Saturn - April 30

For the first time in 15 years, Iapetus will transit Saturn. To the best of my knowledge, this has never been imaged from Earth before, there were some sketches made of the previous event in 2007.

The event will start at around 4am (EST) on April 30 and continue until dawn, attached is a WinJupos simulation at around 6:30am. We will only get one chance at this, there might be another opportunity on July 18 to see it cross the rings, but that's it until 2037!

Get your planetary imaging rig ready and start praying for clear skies!
