Comments: Which was not my surprise when processing the photo and finding out that I had captured the star HD 168233 exactly between the C-ring and the limb of Saturn. This star has magnitude estimated at +9.25 and I never thought it would stand out so well due to the brightness of the rings and the planet itself. Despite the interval of only 4 minutes, it is possible to see the movement from one photo to another. Sorry for the poor viewing conditions, but still an interesting photo that leaves us quite happy with the result!
