If you look long enough at that photo, you will see stars. You just need your eyes to adjust to the lighting.

This was 800 video frames out of 11250 at 60fps. Captured with a consumer grade DSLR. I'm not a real planet guy when it comes to imaging, but Saturn gets my attention once in a while.

Nice photo, but let’s see you get it from the night side!

No need to as there is little to see on the dark side, which makes it pretty boring. You know, it's all black!☺

saturn has 150 moons. several rival the size of ours.
Titan, Rhea, Iapetus, Dione, Tethys, Enceladus, Mimas and Hyperion.
Where are they in the picture? you're gonna tell me a shot that close and that clear I'm not gonna see a single moon??
and i’m sorry, the reflection off the rings is not uniform enough from a light source that is 913 million miles away. the reflected light from the front side of the planet should be illuminating the front side ring, not shadowing it like shown. (1” of shadow on each side where the crescent meets the rings)

I have to disagree with you on a point- cell phone optics CAN and DO pic up stars. The older ones probably don’t, but the modern advanced optics in today’s models certainly do.
