Saturn May 20th

Imaged Saturn May 20th in fair seeing, have extensive data covering 76 minutes of Saturn rotation. Tethys is seen in all data sets. The North Polar Vortex is quite prominent as is the North Polar Hexagon which is best seen in the R and RGB animations. The R and RGB data nicely resolves considerable banding within the atmosphere however the seeing was not quite good enough to resolve discrete detail within these bands. Note all data from this session including the polar projections has been uploaded to the PVOL database.
