Hey!

Are there any serious amateur astronomers out there? If so, I'd like to know what Saturn looked like to your eyes during Cassini's 13 yrs there. Did the rings look white? Pale pink? Beige? What about the various bands in the atmosphere? Did colors change w/ time?

When I asked this ? abt Jupiter prior to Cassini's Jupiter encounter, I received guidance frm those amateurs who specialized in color. Doing the same now.

Thx!
