High!
Once more I found some time to carry on with my PoVSolar project - a
(later on also animatable) model of the Solar System as scientifically
accurate as possible. After finishing a provisional version of the
Jovian system, I continue with Saturn (no moons yet, but this I hope
will change in the near future).
Credits go to Björn Jónsson for the Saturn cloud texture, the color and
transparency bitmaps of the rings.
See you in Khyberspace!

With the moons you might get tiny moon shadow streaks on
the rings due to the recent equinox as seen by Cassini.

Your Saturn looks too spherical to me. Just remember that the gas giant
planets are noticably non-spherical. Saturn, for example, has an
equatorial radius of 60,268km but a polar radius of only 54,364km. Thats
10%!!!!

You're right... here is the corrected version (and I thought I had the
radii data not only in the planetary data array, but also in the scale
statement...)!
See you in Khyberspace!

I just had a look at several actual images of Saturn. None of them shows
that purple coloration where you look through the iner ring.
