Saturn this morning Feb 13th, RGB & IR animations

Hi All,

Imaged Saturn this morning in reasonable seeing over a 2 hr session.
There was some high alt cloud occasionally passing through. I couldn't see any cloud but the effects were apparent on my histogram.

Have 5 RGB & 5 807nm IR data sets, this morning a substantial part of the tail as well as the comet like head of the storm was visible. The head of the storm remains very bright with no hint of it diminishing.

Have posted 4 RGB's and attached links to the RGB & 807nm IR animations which are on my website.

There appears to be some structure within the rings in both animations, but the seeing was just not good enough to really nail it, but I live in hope.

Thanks for looking.
Regards
Trevor
