Here is a nice pic of Saturn from my favourite astrophoto site, Astro Photo Of the Day (APOD)

As the picture changes daily, you can go to the archive for 11 Jan 2009 to look for it.

Hi yybmage, if you're referring to the Jupiter photo, then those are scattered lights.

I think he was referring to the photo for 12 Jan, which is also very pretty. yybmage, go to the archive and look for the photo for 11 Jan to see the Saturn image.
