Date image was taken: July 16, 2024

Location: Rome (Italy)

Image Description and Details: Saturn 16/07/2024

This image of Saturn is certainly one of the most interesting I have ever taken. I was about to wrap up, as the seeing was mediocre at the start of the session, but I was reluctant to stop because I had the chance to capture Titan near Saturn. I persisted, and fortunately, the conditions suddenly improved.
The surprise came when processing and observing the simulation on Stellarium first and then WinJupos.
In the image, you can actually distinguish details on Titan (consistent with the WinJupos simulation), the very prominent shadow of Rhea transiting, and (what I found moving) Titan precisely transiting within the shadow cast by the rings, an incredible sight.
I hope it can move you as much as it moved me
