Hi All,

Imaged Saturn last night with good coverage from CMIII 260.3 through to CMIII 337.4.


During last years great storm, many times I imaged detail in 807nm IR that corresponded with active SED's regions. This morning in generally good seeing my 807nm IR data came up very well and I note that the brightest discrete spot in IR corresponds with a very bright spot within the old storm remnant. This spot was visible in the live feed of the "R" & "G" channels also and I measure its position in WinJUPOS to be approx CMIII 267.5 Lat 50.


In my processed RGB data I have the new spot well resolved, measured it in WinJUPOS to be CMIII 313 Lat 58. There are several other fainter spots and more linear structure within the old storm remnant
.

Have attached 2 RGB's & 807nm IR data sets of the 6 taken over a 2 hr 17 min session. The fine detail is well defined in my "R" channel data so I have included an animation of all "R" channels data resampled 130% along with animations at my native scale of all RGB & IR data. NOTE, the IR & R animation are largish files at about 500kb

At first glance the IR images appear rather bland but the animation shows the movement of the bright spot I previously referred to. It seems interesting that if the new spot further South is the source of the SED's that nothing appears to show up in IR at that location.
