Limb darkening coefficients on the disk of Saturn are determined from photographs obtained in 1991 in red, orange, blue, and violet rays for latitudinal belts of 5 deg between planetographic latitudes from -15 to 75 deg. The greatest limb darkening coefficients are in the equatorial belt, and the smallest are at a latitude of about +40 deg. The limb darkening coefficients decrease towards shorter wavelengths, this decrease being stronger for temperate latitudes. Relative values of normal albedo are also estimated. Light cloud formations were observed in the equatorial belt of Saturn at a longitude of about 270 deg.
