Saturn August 2nd SED's related storm

Hi All,

The recent SED's outburst was certainly of a stop start, stuttering nature. The SED's have stopped for now but I was able to image the optical counterpart to them last night. Imaged the target region in poor seeing. Have resolved 2 bright spots of interest.

The spots come up in R, RGB & 742nm IR and appear in consecutive data sets captured over the 70 min session.

I have R, RGB & 742nm IR animations that all resolve these two features. They are best seen in R, Note: the images in the R animation have been more heavily processed to better resolve the bright spots.


I have measured the positions of both bright spots in WinJUPOS to be at Lat +47.8 L3 87.1 and Lat +57.3 L3 74.1.
Earlier this evening I received verification that the storm (bright spot) at Lat +47.8 L3 87.1 in this data is the storm. With an ounce of luck the SED's will fire up again shortly.

Thanks for looking
Regards
Trevor
