Saturn Jan 28th

Hi All,

Imaged Saturn this morning over a session of just under 3 hrs. The seeing was mostly pretty ordinary but I did get one reasonable RGB

Captured 6 RGB & 807nm IR data sets. Have attached the best RGB & IR images and also attached links to animations of the whole RGB & IR data sets that are on my website. These are the longest animations I have put together thus far this apparition for Saturn.

I don't think the comet like head of the storm is as bright now as it was on Jan 24th and the fainter plumes that extended from the East right up to the brightest section of the head are also not quite as well resolved.

Thanks for looking.
Regards
Trevor
