Photographs of the planet Saturn

[scaramanga182]

Hi. I'm making a new background and I want a splice a picture of Saturn into the backdrop. However every google search seems to bring up a CGI image, most of which look carp. Even the NASA website doesn't appear to have a proper photograph. Are there any budding astronomers out there who know where I can aquire an actual photo?

Nothing suitable in the NASA Photojournal for Saturn?

I did have look there, the images weren't really what I was after, they looked a bit like they were CG rather than photo's.

Near the bottom, click on "Visit the Planetary Photojournal" and choose your planet.

Those photographs were taken by Voyager. If not that then what is it you're looking to find in an image. It'd help up determine what you want more clearly.

That is because the sunlight is so poor at that distance the photos have to be digitally enhanced so they don't look like boring circles.

This one seems to be fairly natural...
