Rolf Olsen describes, at rolfolsenastrophotography.com, how he "created" the image:
"To produce the image I scoured the Voyager 2 image data freely available from NASA's Planetary Data System. I was able to find raw images of a crescent Neptune showing intriguing cloud bands around the South Pole. No complete image of the ring system exist, but based on available long exposure images of portions of the rings I was able to create a model of the density profile. I then fitted this model around the crescent planet to get a complete view, in accordance with the viewing angle as seen in the raw Voyager 2 images. A raw image of the brighter ring arcs was then processed and overlaid on the rings in a position corresponding with the original image data."

Nice image, but wouldn't it have been better to have the rings go behind the planet, either at the bottom or the top, whichever is appropriate?

He did say; Scotland I think. That probably counts as astronomy too.
