Thumbs up Saturn SED's storm, Rhea & shadow transit

Hi All,

Imaged Saturn in good seeing last night with the aim of capturing the SED's storm. Cassini has been tasked with imaging this storm on the day side of Saturn today providing the possibility of support by amateur imagers.

Have captured the storm at the CM at 10:48 UTC, this image was captured in a window of very good seeing and is my best effort for this apparition.

All of these images were processed quite heavily to reveal the storm and other cloud features.

As a bonus I also have Rhea and its shadow transit.
Have attached a set of RGB images plus an animation.

Thanks for looking
Regards
Trevor
