Saturn Oct 9th & 10th in good seeing

Hi All,

Imaged Saturn Oct 9th in very good seeing, have excellent depth of detail from limb to limb at all wavelengths. Have extensive data covering 94 minutes of Saturn rotation. The North Polar Hexagon is very well defined as is the North Polar Vortex. The longer I study the animations of these data and blink data sets the more discrete detail I see. To provide a report on all resolved detail would require a separate word file but some of the most prominent features include; a chain of bright spots in the Southern Hemisphere peeking out from the edge of the ring shadow, there are at least three possibly even more at approx Lat-6.3 L1 207.9 Lat-7 L3 195 & Lat-7.1 L3 187. A large diffuse bright spot at approx Lat+22.3 L3 315.5. There is extensive structure & detail resolved in the NPR including a dark spot at approx Lat+63.5 L3 9.3. The final IR of the session also resolves the 2010 GWS AV toward the F limb at approx Lat+42.5 L3 79.2. Of interest is an isolated diffuse dark spot resolved in R & G and RGB data at approx Lat+30.5 L3 345.8. All data from this session has been uploaded to the PVOL data base.

Imaged Saturn Oct 10th in good seeing targeting a CM transit of the 2010 GWS AV, have very good 685nm-Pass IR data and fair RGB data. The North Polar Hexagon & North Polar Vortex are very well resolved. The AV is very well resolved at approx Lat+42.4 L3 77.5. The intricate structure within the NPR is well seen with a prominent dark spot at approx Lat+60 L3 53.1 a large bright spot at approx Lat+73.1 L3 91.3 a bright spot at approx Lat+65 L3 96.3. All data from this session has been uploaded to the PVOL data base.
