the storm

Hi John, maybe can work out the location of this storm (assuming it hasn't moved too much) by extrapolating from my last image attached below.

This was taken at 12.07UT on Feb 6th.

Saturn's rotational period is 10.233 hours (or so Google tells me).

Sooo tonight is the Feb 10th, if we look at a time that is an exact multiple of 10.233 hours from 12.07UT on Feb 6 we should see the storm in the same spot. Hmmm 9 rotational periods would put it around evening twighlight when the storm in the same locale and by 10 Saturn would be setting. Someone do the math for tomorrow night... my head hurts
