I have just re-photographed the sketch, as i was tired last night! this result is sharper. I used a pre-printed template set at 3 degree ring tilt to try get close to the current ring tilt. mike Post Extras:       darkstar528 Postmaster Reged: 03/06/07 Loc: Hodgenville, Kentucky, USA Re: Saturn 20th march 2009 [Re: mike bacanin]       #2995372 - 03/21/09 12:29 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Very nice, I wish I could see it that well...Looks like a small orange with arms...
