Details:
I made a two-image montage showing Saturn's pulsing rings at opposition August 14, 2022 and then at quadrature November 4, 2022. At opposition, the rings are showing the 'extra' brightness due to the Seeliger effect. Then at quadrature, which is a largest phase angle as seen from earth, the rings appear as normal. This is the best way to demonstrate this effect.
