Saturn & Jupiter July 15th 2012

Imaged Saturn last evening in variable seeing, have 1 RGB and 3 "R" channel data sets.

Have also attached an animation of the "R" channel data.



I note that in the final 2 R channel images, there is a faint white spot in the NEB. It is situated a little to the "F" side of the CM and is quite noticeable in the animation


Imaged Jupiter this morning in reasonable seeing for the alt. Have attached 1 RGB & 807nm IR data set.

This is my highest res data thus far for this apparition, all of it was captured below 30 degrees alt.


Interesting that the NTB is clearly separated from the NEB in IR whereas it is so hard to differentiate between the NTB(S) & the NEB in RGB.


Also most interesting is the reddish band in the EZ. I last imaged Jupiter July 6th and comparing that data with this RGB, the reddish band has clearly become better defined and more distinct.


I also note that the very dark features that were spaced along the Southern edge of the NEB in my data from July 5th seem to have dissipated considerably.


The colour of oval BA continues to be much brighter than the GRS and the dark spot trailing oval BA remains conspicuous.

Ganymede and its shadow can be seen in the animation.

Have also attached an animation of all 807nm IR data.

Thanks for looking.

Regards
Trevor
