Saturn storm+animation Dec 26th

Hi All,

Imaged Saturn this morning in very windy conditions, but for my dome I would not have been able to keep Saturn on my CCD chip. The seeing was ordinary with the image sometimes looking flag like but with enough relatively steady periods to resolve the storm reasonably.

Have attached 4 RGB and 2 807nm IR images along with an animation of my 4 RGB's from this session. The storm really is turning into a monster and is the most unique feature I have ever seen on Saturn. Still waiting for some good seeing to get some hi res data of the storm.

Thanks for looking
Regards
Trevor
