Saturn June 20th in good seeing

[Quark]

Imaged Saturn June 20th, the R channel was nice and the G & B channels were even better. Targeted the anticyclone fossil, I measure it to be at Lat +42 L3 135.1 the North Polar Vortex and Polar Hexagon are also quite well defined.

Have attached links to animations of the data which has been uploaded to the PVOL data base as the file size exceed the limit for here on IIS.

Thanks very much Tony, yes I put in a lot of hours. Currently I have 3,893 data sets on the PVOL data base with 2,457 of them being Saturn data. Saturn is my specialty.

Great images Trev! Think that is the best Saturn I have seen from you over the last few years!

Looks like you have some great data and if you wanted to could even push the sharpening even slightly more.

Great work!

Thanks very much John, it has been a good year for me with Saturn. Often my RGB .png files are way to large to post here on IIS. These days I mainly post on closed FB groups and not so much IIS. Have attached a link to a very nice RGB from May 24th which I uploaded to the PVOL data base, I think better than this RGB from June 20th.

Tremendous images, a lot of effort, but great reward. The storms on Saturn are sure hard to capture just now!
