Saturn looking good again last night in my 16". Good seeing gave me a nice steady image. The moons were the main focus of my attention.

16" x295 magnification

From top to bottom:

Titan - brightest moon

Iapetus - to the left of Titan and away from the ring plane

Rhea - Just over a planet's width to the top

Tethys - brighter of the double close to the rings

Enceladus - fainter of the double close to the rings, averted vision and moments of good seeing captured this one

Dione - close in below the planet

Imposter - looks like the lowest one towards the bottom of the sketch is a star!
