saturn storm

just finished a early morning session.rose around 2.00am the skies seemed clear but the seeing wasn't with the rain we've had light clouds kept coming over.anyway been awaiting saturday morning to try and see this saturn storm with saturn bouncing and bobbling around i had my work cut out.locking the primary mirror and using electric focuser has helped greatly using magnification from 102x to 530x over 3 odd hours i had some nice views of saturn with glimpses of near perfection the ring casting a beautiful shadow over the face.i thought that i seen some brightness toward the pole were the storm was around 4.45am with very averted vision but i could not be positive it was it.so seeing the storm didn't pop out for me maybe next time!!!!!!!!

did anybody else this morning with better skies get a view?????
