From the link http://saturn.cstoneind.com:80/you posted in your first post in this thread Christopher Go imaged Titan's transit(he did say transit ,not shadow transit) but how come it appears as a black dot in front of Saturn. Shouldn't Titan be also illuminated by sunlight?  |
The simple answer Cookie would be that it is Titan.
Without 'back-checking the exact timings of his 'transits' I'd say
to capture both satellite (dim) and planet (very bright), he's got
a compromise where the planet detail is perfect but at the expense of
Titan being underexposed and appearing dark.
Either that...or it was a SHADOW transit event.
