Accompanying his e-mail, Efrain added:

Here is another photo of Saturn on opposition day. The lower photo is one I took in 2007 when i got my DMK 21AF04. As you can see Saturn has changed it's angle position and less of the ring will be shown next year. Thanks again.

If any other blog readers have taken such good images of Saturn, please do not hesitate to send them to us.
