   Shown above is a compilation of images featuring  Saturn and its
    ring system in 2020, 2021 and 2022. The most recent image was taken
   on June 25, 2022. Saturn’s axial tilt is 27 degrees, and from our
   perspective we see the  rings present themselves differently every
   year. Reflection from Saturn’s rings slightly increases  how bright
   Saturn appears to us. However, even when the “ringed planet” is at
   maximum tilt, we’re unable to detect the rings with the naked eye. All
   photos observed from New Delhi, India.

   Photo details: 8" Skywatcher Flextube Dobsonian telescope; ZWO
   ASI178MC; 2.5X;  Televue Powermate; EQ Platform; SvBony UV/IR Filter;
   Captured in Shaprcap; stacked in ASi3; Wavelets in Registax and fine
   tuning in Photoshop.
