Mars & Saturn June 24th 2012

Hi All,

Imaged Mars & Saturn last night in fair conditions. It's been some time since I imaged Mars and now with an apparent dia of only 6.8 arc sec's it sure has shrunk considerably so have resampled by 150%. Have attached 1 RGB & 807nm IR data set.

Moving on to Saturn, at last there was some relief from the jetstream which has been a problem for several weeks recently.

Have attached 1 "R" channel, RGB & 807nm IR data set along with animations of all "R" & RGB data.

Of interest in the "R" animation, there seems to be a dark feature on the Southern edge of the SEB, it is seen moving from the "f' to the "p" side of the CM. There also appears to be a white spot just a little to the North of the dark feature and there are several white spots in the region of the old storm remnant.

The RGB animation seems to show a relatively large but quite diffuse white spot in the SEB + structure along the Southern edge of the old storm remnant.

Thanks for looking.

Regards
Trevor
