Thanks Suntrack!
Actually, the ring angle has been narrowing. Efrain Rivera posted
a great shot showing the movement of the rings over the years. By September 2009, they will
be flat relative to us and very hard to see.
[rant] Now, one final comment on my format / frame rate rant above. I only need 60fps for bright objects like the Moon and Jupiter in less than optimal seeing. So I can live with 30fps and get a smaller file for all other objects. And for Jupiter I won't be combining more than 90 seconds or so of data due to rotation, keeping total frame count below the 2,000 limit in Registax. [/rant]
Update:
I've captured my research in a more complete form on
my blog. Comments and corrections would be greatly desired.
