Data Set Abstract This dataset contains IRTF images of the Saturn system obtained with the NSFCam in early August 1995. The observations were made four days prior to the ring plane crossing when the sun and Earth were on opposite sides of the ring plane. The observations include sequences of rapid exposures of several satellite mutual events and spectroscopic data of the main rings and the E and G rings.
