Scientific paper

During and just after the crossing of the sun through Saturn's ring plane in November 1995, about 200 CCD images were obtained of Saturn's satellite and ring system over a period of five nights. An analysis of several image sequences, primary in R-band, is presented which constrains the population of moonlets within the E Ring. The images are blinked to provide an initial set of moving objects in the frames, and median frames are subtracted to detect faint objects. Clumps or arcs in the F Ring are detected as a byproduct of this analysis.
