That's nice Jeff. Personally, I like the preprocessed version better. Never seen brown sky before, that is except when I was in down town Bangkok at rush hour. ; )
Myself, I will blacken the background but I'm out of practice with the lasso tool. Gotta work on that.

Encouraged by Carlos' and Bill's results I decided to have another go at processing this one. (Geez, I feel like a real imager now. I might even call the original my "data set".  )
Anyway, the planet's disk was fairly easy, but the rings were a real bear. After finally getting the rings into shape I squashed the disk at bit at the poles to more faithfully protray what I viewed (the "data set" was sketeched within a coin outline, which is of course more round than Saturn).

I like the inverted version, but the planet is a bit too overpowering at that level of contrast. So I got rid of the "field not to scale" disclaimer and resized the planet to true field size:

But you loose a lot of the detail at that size (or at least make it harder to see). This last one is sort of a tweener:
