Scientific paper

Good photographs of Saturn and its five inner satellites were obtained on January 2, 1974 with the 105 cm telescope at Pic du Midi Observatory with exposure times of 45 sec. The spread function is constant over the field, and isotropic. The true photometric profiles of the satellites are obtained after deriving a model for the stray light coming from the rings. The magnitudes, computed by integration, are in good agreement with published values except for Mimas, which is nearly one magnitude fainter then previously believed.
