Description

An excellent night of imaging to cap off July.

Notes:

The Equatorial Zone is split by a bright band on the equator.
Tethys, Dione, and Rhea are visible in a nearly straight line to the lower-left of Saturn. Mimas is also a part of the line, but not definitively visible in this image.
