Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations during Saturn's ring-plane crossings allowed us to view saturnian satellites normally hidden to Earth-based observers in the glare of the rings.

We analyze observations made in August and November 1995 during the Earth and Sun crossings of Saturn's ring plane, respectively. The August 1995 observations combine data taken with the Adonis adaptive optics system at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) and images from the Hubble Space Telesco
