At maximum tilt of 26-27°, we see the rings above and below the planet disk at the widest apparent separation. As tilt gets closer to zero, the only divisions we will see in the rings will be near the ansae.

Thanks for posting that Ed! Just as I thought, it will get more difficult to observe/image the divisions all the way around in the next coming years. I guess the pole will too. -Robert
