Details:
Using Sharcap, I recorded a series of 3-minute duration SER files. After processing each file in AutoStakkert!4 I then used Wavesharp3 to deconvolve the TIF images.
It was then I noticed that on 3 of the images, there seemed to be a subtle, but consistent blotchiness on one segment of the rings, just above the position of Enceladus.
The 3 images were from 3-minute recordings (850 from 8964 Frames), 8 Bit, SER Files recorded on 1st October 2026 at 22:53:02, 23:00:03, 23:07:04 AEST (UT+10).

Here is an animation also showing the movement of Enceladus and Dione over that time period. The brightness of these moons has been enhanced to better display them.
