Thanks very much Rod, yeah, reckon that would be a pretty popular optional extra. Often the detail on Saturn is so subtle that it really can only be seen by utilizing animations. This particular storm, however, is without precedence.

Thanks very much Ray, I was a bit worried that I would miss the best of this storm while on holidays but it just keeps getting larger and brighter.

Thanks very much Mike, how lucky are we to have had the SEB revival on Jupiter followed so closely by this monster storm on Saturn. Planetary imaging heaven, I think.

Nice image of the storm though and could only get better.
Thanks very much Paul, yes, I see the distortion with the Cassini division. I was a bit surprised as all of my data was put through ninox prior to RegiStax V5. The seeing threatened to be good but just never got there. There was a bit of a shimmy from time to time, typical of the jetstream that never completely went away.

Thanks very much Darren, the animation clearly demonstrates the spread in latitude of the bright cells in the western end of the storm structure. I am glad it created some interest at your work place. I put a lot of effort into raising the profile of astronomy at the school & community level.
