Have not seen the thin Saturn yet. Nice one, Boothee!
The rings are expected to be invisible for a few days in Sep this year as we see it truly edge on during that period.

Thank you all for your lovely comments!

Zacke & Airconvent, as for me I don't like thin rings. :D
I really enjoy looking Saturn in tilted position with rings. :D

Clear Skies!
