Using Ultima x2 Barlow and selecting the best 800 of 1800 frames captured with a webcam, John got this Saturn. Rings are nearly edge-on, due to the date the picture was taken. In 2009 Saturn rings plane and Earth position matched doing them more difficult to observe. It is remarkable the high contrast between the rings and the planet surface, clearly much brighter.
