Not great, this one under average conditions, but it may be the best I get :sadeyes: Hope not :D

Hi Rob,

If this is the best image that you get of the storm then it is still well worth keeping, this really is quite an historical time. Regardless of the resolution, this is the biggest, brightest and most active electrical storm recorded in our Solar System, thus far.

Cheers

Hi Clayton
That's a great image of the storm event - I think we often forget that Saturn is 1,400,000,000 (give or take) kilometres away!!!!!

Hi Rob. Agree with Trevor and Matt - its a keeper. Would be nice if the 300mb winds went somewhere else and gave us some good seeing - something seems to have kept them anchored over us for a few weeks now. Regards Ray

Thanks Trevor,
I was pleased to have caught the storm (which I have been following with interest), although with a great lack of detail:lol:

Thanks Matt,
Yes after being spoiled with Jupiter it is quite a task to do well with Saturn.

Thanks Ray,
I have forgotten the last time we had really nice seeing:(
