Finally went down to Clayton on Friday night to capture some Saturn data. It was a busy day with capturing solar data in the morning, DSO imaging during the night as well as some time lapse and then some Saturn data in the small hours. Lots of data to look through and work on, but this was a first for me to capture all the various imaging pursuits in the one day that I am into at present.
Saturn is looking rather nice now for us southerners and we have waited a long time for that to occur. Seeing was around 7/10 with some nice spells of great seeing. Earlier in the evening I looked at Saturn through Tim's 22" and saw the buttery colouring of the planet, and compared this to the view I was getting in the C14. Graeme brought down his AP scope and mount and was doing some visual with it while I was imaging. I heard Tim and Graeme commenting on the views they were getting and it all sounded very positive.
In the Saturn image you can see the Enke quite well, as well as the hex at the pole, some nice structure in the rings and a few spots here and there in the belts. Overall quite happy with this image.

Edit, I have included a refined image now for everyones consideration.
