Jon Wood told me that the blogs today (18th) talked about a Saturn moon six pack.  Sky and Telescope showed that 5 Saturnian moons would be lined up.  Calsky identified 7, but Hyperion showed pretty far from the planet.  In addition, someone must have done a pretty good sky dance, because stability and transparency were better than anytime I recall for this year.  Here my composite of Saturn and an image of the moons lined up.  Made from the Dutch Observatory.
