Saturn storms + Transit & shadow transit of Rhea
Hi All,
Was 9/10 cloud until 10:30 pm CSST last night but then it cleared and provided me with very good seeing right through to my final capture at 3:10 am CSST this morning.
I was hoping to track down the source of a SED's (Saturn Electrostatic Discharge) outburst that started a couple of weeks ago. The wet weather had curtailed my search until last night.
I have 30 avi's that are very nice quality that will take a week or so to process properly. To have something to post tonight I have been doing fast and rather rough processing on some of the data.
There is a cloud feature in the SEBZ and while I was capturing data there was a transit and shadow transit of Rhea. There is also a storm in the STrZ this region is known as Storm Alley and has been the source of the major storm of the last couple of years. The storm in the STrZ is just above the shadow of Rhea.
I quickly processed the R channels of these images and loaded them into WinJUPOS to get accurate positional data for the cloud features and storm, WinJUPOS also verifies the positions of Rhea and its shadow which I have marked in on one image.
I have attached 4 RGB images plus an animation of 7 RGB's, there is a lot happening in the animation.
This data is very good and it is a shame to post it, as I have, without putting the effort in to extract all that I can, I apologize for this but it will take considerable time to fully process all of this data. I sort of feel the need to sleep coming on, I have not been to bed yet from last nights imaging session.
Thanks for looking.
Regards
Trevor
PS: If I have made any blues with my labeling it is due to sleep depredation.
