Stupid question:

The Hubble photos we have from Saturn are a 7-8 AU range, right?

Even more stupid question:

Pointing the Hubble there is worth the effort? how many pixels wide would be a 200km diameter object at 11 AU?

Unfortunately Hubble has issues at the moment. There's a couple of HN submissions about that.

Depends on zoom and resolution of the camera.
