The Saturn opposition took place on 3rd June 2016 and was incidentally having a close approach with Earth. Tried my luck a few days after and it didn't turn up too bad.
An opposition does not always mean that the planet is closest to Earth. However in this case it seems to have been so.
I probably need to touch up that image a lot more and probably would end up with a clear demarcation of the Cassini Divide. But for now, this'd have to do :)
