The paper describes the reduction procedure used for observations of Saturn's rings taken with the International Planetary Patrol Network in 1977. Corrections for atmospheric smearing are determined using an assumed ring model and performed by a two-dimensional Wiener filter developed at JPL's Image Processing Laboratory. These smearing corrections are shown to be consistent with the radial profile of the rings, not just on the major axis of the ring system, but over a range of azimuthal angle.
