Saturn Aug18 variable seeing

Hi

I was very pleased to get this image. There was a 5 minute gap in the clouds - not enough time to fine tune the collimation or to insert and align the dispersion corrector, so the result was pot luck. High level thin clouds messed up the signal levels for the green and blue sequences, but the red channel was fairly good and there was just enough data to put together a reasonable RGB. The storm remnant ribbon seems now to be less distinct than earlier, but the southern hemisphere has developed a quite intense blue/green zone.

Looked forward to the usable seeing continuing for Jupiter the next morning - woke up to fog. Thanks for looking. Regards Ray
