Saturn Dark Spot

[ags_ (Phil)]

The Dark Spot is a new storm and I was lucky to probably be the 1st to image it. Bird has calculated the next transit times for those who would like to give it a go.

Cheers John, and again on the 2nd just managed through the clouds

[ags_ (Phil)]

Lots of heavy clouds with small gaps and a high speed jet stream made it almost impossible to see anything so I've processed the only R capture to highlight the spot.

Great catch Phil

Thanks Lindon, I'm calling it the lucky Phil spot seeing as nobody else has caught it yet We are all wondering how long it will last as these type of storms generally don't last long.

cheers, Phil
