That's not Saturn. That is the Sci-Fi Channel logo.
Notice that the rings are actually leaning on the wrong side.

Yeah, that's RIGHT. How's it feel? Huh??

As promised.

Okay, now I will explain.
I mounted a CCD webcam on an 8" telescope. Then I connected the webcam to my laptop, pointed the telescope at Saturn, and recorded about 30 seconds [600 frames] of video. I chopped off the last 140 frames because they were messed up and fed the remainder into an image stacking program. The result of all that is the image I posted.

Wait, and you complain about me being obtuse? :)
Saturn! - Great Rumbler - 12th April 2008
That's only slightly obtuse at best. Besides, I wanted the picture to stand on its own for a bit.

I would think the "tilt" of the rings would be entirely determined by which way the camera was spinning.

Whatever, planets are stupid.

Yeah! Who needs that? *Is using science to convey total disinterest in science.*
