We concluded that the rotation rate for the hex 2008 - 2014 is 10hrs 39min's 23.01sec's +/- 0.01s. Further to this I am still working on a long term polar projection animation of the hex, based on SysIII. I currently have data from Feb 2013 to Mar 2015. I will continue on with this over the next few years and eventually hope to demonstrate the relationship between SysIII rotation and that of the hex in a graphic manner, sort of a time lapse.

thanks for that info - very well done
