Saturn, at least. I interviewed for the position of Cognizant Engineer at JPL for the near field antenna test range for the Cassini Mission, but the Italian Space Agency ended up with the contract for those antennas.

I vaguely remember pics of the sun, possibly through Saturn's rings. I also dimly recall that there were pics from about Jupiter's orbit.

Some pics

I don't seem to be able to find the pics I was thinking of, but the above give some samples.

Nice. I like those . A friend of mine is an amateur astronomer and photographer. He's taken some amazing pictures of the Sun. Here's his website..
