For fantasy/science fiction writers (or just those curious about the solar system): A toy to play with. NASA/JPL is calling this site "Eyes," and will show you perspectives from just about every object in the solar system relative to everything else.
Two views here, one of the Saturn system from Iapetus, the other from Mimas. Clearly, for more dramatic Saturn views, the location to be is Mimas.
Here's the view from Iapetus. Now for the pedantic (and there are plenty of those in science fiction and fantasy) the views won't be perfect, but I think this puts any writer close enough for government work.
Amd from Mimas.
The webiste lets you scroll around all over, so you can see relative distances to other objects in the soler system. Ought to be a pretty helpful tool.
