You'll never see a captured image of Saturn by an amateur astronomer that is only half-illuminated the way NASA presents the picture.

This picture is said to be taken from Cassini ("Cassini has sent back some amazing images and a whole load of information about the second largest planet") The planet is fully illuminated but shows the rings in the back darkened: https://tinyurl.com/3ekkw2ef
This one is supposed to be showing a northern storm on Saturn: https://postimg.cc/N2220dbt
