Hi Jim;
Very Nice. I haven't been able to do anything in months due to horrible weather - and imaging beyond 1.6 meter focal length is pointless due to turbulence. Now we are into fire season and high altitude smoke is everywhere:

Not to criticize, but I think they are just a touch color over saturated over the other saturn images I have seen this year.
If you import the JPEG into Astro IIDC, try setting the "RGB Saturation:" text field to -0.2 to -0.3 and see if you like it any better.
It all depend son your eyes and how your monitor is calibrated - as well as aesthetics too.
Thanks for sharing..
