Saturn bright spot Feb 20th in good seeing.

[Quark]

Imaged Saturn Feb 20th in good seeing. Have resolved a small bright spot which I measure to be at L3 70.5 Lat +26.9 this spot is rather faint in IR but easily seen in R and RGB data, it is also visible in my polar projections.

Have put in a couple of hours searching through the most recent Cassini Raw data. Have found a Cassini image from Feb 9th which has a discrete bright spot that is in very similar position to the spot in my data. In the Cassini image it is over toward the P limb. The wide bright band is the EZ and the narrow darker band can also be seen in my RGB data and the spot is in very similar position. The Cassini image was taken through two filters, a clear filter along with a Green filter. I am reasonably confident that this is the same spot. Note; the Image Credit for the Cassini data; NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute.

Excellent work in capturing, and then spotting, this interesting feature :D

The details you are getting are so subtle which is a sign of current quality of imaging/processing. Lovely to see rings poke outside the disc - framing nicely.
