These kinds of Cassini views are visually and mentally stunning. This particular one is an outstanding candidate for use in answering the "where are the stars?" question. I also just checked, and yes if you crop in a bit it makes an especially beautiful phone wallpaper.

Cassini wide-angle camera RGB view of Titan in Saturn's shadow taken on 2009-11-30. A certain Dave Bowman could have made a comment about the number of stars visible. Full quality image available at flic.kr/p/8HmgV9

Extremely long, 560 second exposures in each of the 3 RGB filters were needed to catch the faint illumination of the moon with light scattered by the rings and Saturn's atmosphere. As a result, the background starfield is prominently visible as well. The stars show up as streaks because Cassini was tracking Titan the whole time. Distance to Titan: 2.4 million km Phase angle: 81 deg
