July 19th Saturn in good seeing and Jupiter in not good seeing

[Quark]

Hi All,


Imaged Saturn last night in good seeing, have some quite interesting detail.
Of particular note, in the R channel from 09:21:16 & RGB from 09:23 is a elongated white spot North of the great storm remnant extending down to the North at approx 45 degrees.


I have measured this in WinJUPOS to be at approx CMIII 357.6 Lat +57.1. It is probably more prominent in the RGB. Also in the same RGB is, I believe, a dark spot on the Southern edge of the great storm remnant at CMIII 338.9 Lat +45.1.
Best seen in the R channel from 09:21:16 is also a white spot in the NEB at approx CMIII 335,8 Lat +36.9.


There is much subtle detail to be seen in this data which is hi-lighted in the R & RGB animations.


Imaged Jupiter this morning in poor seeing but have some reasonable detail still resolved especially in 807nm IR.


Have attached 1 RGB & 807nm IR data sets along with an animation of all IR data.


A couple of white ovals are resolved in the STB and there is a prominent small dark and somewhat elongated spot in the STZ. There also one darker more prominent red spot in the SEB and there are some very prominent dark features in IR along the Southern edge of the NEB. The NEB looks particularly chaotic in IR.


Thanks for looking

Regards
Trevor

PS; Not enough room to attache all data so will add Jupiter in a reply to this thread.

Hi Trevor
Saturn very nice with interesting details.
You still have good conditions to see it, in Italy po valley it's too low on the ecliptic and at this latitude the view is too bad for my C8.

Jupiter is very interesting in particualr for the blue spots in the center.
I remember to see these kind of spots, with my C8, not during last opposition but a lot of these in particual two oppostions ago.

Thank you for sharing these spectacular images

Thanks very much Giuseppe, as Saturn comes South Jupiter is heading your way so I hope you have many opportunities with Jove.



Thanks very much Rob.



Thanks very much Ray.
