I didn't try yet... but will do so later this night (CET)!

Relative thickness is 200 metres!

Yes, I just tried this, by setting the scattering amount to 10 - and I 
got blazingly bright rings close to white-out, but still no shadow on 
the planet! As general scattering amount and rgb values in the density 
map are equivalent, there seems to be no point in trying the lower the 
density values there instead...

And, yes, later this evening I will come up with a self-containing 
Saturn scene to test for you! But first I have to do my daily Afghan 
bodycount...

See you in Khyberspace!
