Unbelievable!, there was a time that capturing the rings sharply was a lofty goal, this guy is catching detail in the rings themselves, considering that it took voyager2 to discover the spokes in the first place makes it even more so (Stephen J O'Meara seen them but he didnt image them).
I wonder is the sun/ring angle enhancing the spokes? the detail is exceptionally good but if you look at the rings there is very little sign of the encke division, except for hints of it on the far left side of the rings. Maybe thats cos of the ring tilt. ?
