I can't imagine that there will be much detail on these pictures. Saturn will just be a black disk against a black sky, the rings will be bright though. And Earth will be a tiny dot in the distance. If it's close to the sun, it won't be very bright. Like a new moon. Just a thin crescent of light.

I probably blinked when it took the picture. I always do that. :sigh:
