Saturn March 12th large diffuse EZ feature

Hi All,

Imaged Saturn this morning in fair seeing, This is the 6th consecutive night of mostly good seeing and is the longest run I have had since 2008. Looking at the computer models it seems that it may be a week or more before I get another chance to image.




This data, although in fair seeing, is not of the quality of the previous 5 mornings. That said, there is quite a large cloud feature in the EZ that is resolved in R, RGB & 742nm IR, it is just toward the F side of the CM. There is also a bright spot at the CM in the NEB in my IR data from 16:43 UTC.


Have put together an animation to hi-light the EZ feature using 1 R, RGB & IR image sequence.

Thanks for looking



Regards
Trevor
