Hi All,
Imaged Saturn this morning, the predictions for the conditions were nothing to get excited about but when I connected my camera I was pleasantly surprised as the live feed looked good.
I generally aim to capture a RGB & 807nm IR data set about every 30 mins, but for each data set the seeing dropped off just that bit more, still I am more than happy to get at least one good data set. Note the large dark spot over towards the Western limb, this was at the CM in my images from March 5th, also note the quite distinct small white plume that has separated just to the South of the main storm structure.
Have attached an RGB & 807nm IR image set. I have 5 data set that I have put into RGB & IR animations, have attached links to the animations. The animations represent 138 min's of Saturn rotation and reveal the drop off in seeing but still show reasonable storm structure right up to the head of the storm.
