Hi All,
Imaged Saturn October 16th 2023 targeting a transit of the GWS AV. These data cover 2 hrs 55 min of Saturn rotation in good seeing. Have nice depth of small scale detail across all wavelengths. All data has been uploaded to PVOL with links here to the animations.

Detail resolved in these data includes.
A bright spot dark spot pair on the edge of the Nth polar collar. Bright spot at approx Lat+65.4 L3 347.2 Dark spot at approx Lat+62.8 L3 4.1 both resolved in IR data with the bright spot also resolved in R data.
A bright spot impinging up into the Sth edge of the NNTeB at approx Lat+46 L3 71.9 resolved in IR and R data.
The GWS AV at approx Lat+42.2 L3 85.8 resolved in IR data.
A bright spot at approx Lat+36.5 L3 132.3 resolved in RGB data.
A dark spot in and also extending down from the NTeB at approx Lat+31.1 L3 104.5 resolved in R and RGB data.
A bright spot at approx Lat+30.6 L3 53.4 resolved in RGB data.
A bright spot at approx Lat+30.4 L3 100.7 resolved in IR data.
A series of large bright spots are resolved in the EZ, have marked three of them as listed below. The CH4 spot is very similar L1 to the IR spot and may well be related.
A large bright EZ spot at approx Lat+8.7 L1 152.8 resolved in IR data.
A large bright EZ spot at approx Lat+8.7 L1 142.5 resolved in R and RGB data.
A bright spot at approx Lat+1.3 L3 150.1 resolved in CH4 data.
