Saturn June 13th in good seeing

[Quark]

Hi All,

Imaged Saturn June 13th in good seeing, have very good data across all wavelengths covering 1 hr 43 min’s of Saturn rotation. Was able to stack 100% of the Methane data, 85% of the 685nm IR data, 80% of the R channel data, 70% of the G channel data and 60 to 70% of the B channel data.

There is interesting detail resolved on the edge of and within the NPR, some mid latitude diffuse bright spots, a mid latitude compact dark spot, several low contrast EZ features and a very well defined dark spot in the Southern Hemisphere, which I have previously imaged on May 1st and May 8th.

Resolved detail from North to South.
A compact dark spot approx Lat+64.5 L3 85.8 seen in IR.
A bright spot approx Lat+62.6 L3 100.9 and a bright spot Lat+60 L3 114.4 seen in the RGB data.
A large diffuse bright spot approx Lat+30.4 L3 130.5 seen in RGB data.
A compact dark spot approx Lat+28.7 L3 80.2 seen in R data.
A very well defined dark spot approx Lat-44.3 L3 130.5 very well defined in IR but also seen in R, G & B.

Have animations at all wavelengths other than Methane and polar maps in 685nm IR, R and RGB. Note; The insets included with each image are in the same relative position within the image to assist with blinking image pairs.
Have a significant volume of data from this session, all has been uploaded to the PVOL data base.

Thanks very much Clare & Peter.

Thanks very much Marc, it is surely one of life's great pleasures to gently caress really good data.
