Hi All,

Imaged Saturn June 26th in very good seeing. Have data covering 2 hours 35 minutes of Saturn rotation. All wavelengths resolve small scale detail. All data has been uploaded tp PVOL with links to all of the animations here.

Always good to see your Saturn images Trevor, picking out the dark and bright spots must be a challenge.
Am looking forward to, hopefully, catching the next few Titan shadow transits, missed last Thursdays due to unco-operative weather.

Thanks Jeff and David,
I always try for a couple of hours of data, weather permitting. Data sets at about 20 to 30 min intervals works with Saturn. Movement is always key so blinking data sets helps with identifying small scale detail.
