Saturn, Both sides of the rings. A six year animation

[Irene (Irene)]

Great animation indeed. One of the images shows what I think is a moon in transit. Which moon was that? Year?

Great sequence Trevor. Like a time capsule hey?

Thanks Irene, the image you refer to was from 2009 when there were multiple transits and shadow transits of Saturn's Moons, due to the minimal inclination of the ring plane at that Time. This particular image has a shadow transit of Titan happening on the planet and Titan itself can be seen just below and to the left. In early 2009 I was fortunate to capture the entire transit & shadow transit of Titan on the same night which made for a quite unique animation.

Thanks Marc, if I am still capable of imaging through to 2038 I will have the data for a killer, complete orbit animation. Not sure what sort of nick I will be in after another 25 years, being then a sprightly 87 year old.

Thanks Rolf, the continuous change in apparent tilt certainly tends to sneak up on us, but when viewing a snapshot in isolation from several years it really is quite dramatic, I think.
