Saturn storms Jan 27th

Hi All,

Imaged Saturn this morning over a session of 2 1/2 hrs.

It was quite windy with scattered cloud scudding though and the seeing was variable, 5 to 7/10 mostly.

Captured 5 RGB & 807nm IR data sets. Had to drop one RGB due to cloud interference during capture.

This data was definitely not good enough to warrant resampleing so is at the native image scale of my setup.

Have attached 1 RGB & 807nm IR data set as well as an animation of my 4 RGB's and 5 IR images. Both sets cover 2 1/2 hrs of rotation.

The RGB animation shows no decline in the size or brightness of this section of the storm while the IR animation shows several dark spots within the storm structure.

Thanks for looking
Regards
Trevor
