"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
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.

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

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