Hi Grant,

After watching some more pictures I think you are right. :oops:
Here is a nice shot (orange, PIA01988) from Voyager2 with A and F ring compared with your rings. A green, violet and ultraviolet images was used to compile this Voyager shot.

The Sun is behind Voyager and we see a clean lit site of the rings. Now the F ring is very faint. But I found the differences between the pictures very interesting you know this bright stripes in your texture. ;-)

At the moment think we should really wait for better Cassini pictures before we try to improve the ring texture further. ;-)

Darkmiss, the modified Saturn map has now uploaded.

Hey Chris, your shot looks absolute fantastic. 8O I like this improvements. :D :D :D

Bye Jens

I have (more or less) understood why to use the grant's ring texture, but I was wondering why you supply with the last celestia release a planet texture far from the cassini's picture... The jim's one is much closer to the reality, it isn't ?
