 Hi Guys

Here is an image that was taken on 09-14-2002 from Houston Texas at 6:11 UT.

 

 There is just a hint of spoke like features present in the right hand bring, but perhaps it is processing artifacts.

Dear Ed-

 

  Excellent image!!

 

  Perhaps, if you look carefully, it seems to be a small faint gap along the inner part of Ring B. Also, a small gap between Ring B and C. The Crepe Ring itself is very prominent!

 

  Keep up with your great planetary work!!
