Comments: No defeat, no mask to highlight the Moons. Just a slight gamma correct + around the Moon to increase the brightness a bit. 100 sec film capturing around 10 thousand frames and stacking 3,400. In this photo, something caught my attention. My friend Paulo Cacella from Brasilia using a 500mm reflector commented that visually he had the impression that the right handle of the A ring seemed slightly obscured. When I processed the image I noticed this but I didn't consider it because it seemed like a processing artifact, but Paulo's comment caught my attention. Does anyone have more information on whether this is true? In the photo below I indicate the location with the yellow arrows. PS: My friend Cris Pelier also commented that there seemed to be a lightning bolt in the B ring on the left strap.
