Well captured! It's well past me being able to image it now, thanks to trees in the NW.
Thanks Mike, I have the same problem with a palm tree that Saturn descends into at about 9 pm. I probably only have another couple of weeks of capturing the storm before I lose Saturn.

Thanks Paul, it has been a while since there has been really good seeing. Regardless of the seeing I make an attempt every four nights to capture the storm. I am in the throws of processing my images of the storm taken tonight, again the seeing was pretty ordinary with high altitude cloud coming through but the storm is still visible.
