Saturn April 24th & 25th

Hi All,

Imaged Saturn April 24th & 25th. April 24th was in fair seeing and nothing really jumps out at me in the data although there are some diffuse white spots in the NEB.

Captured data over a 3 hr session April 25th, the seeing was quite reasonable early then went west before stabilizing just in time to image the dark spot.



Of interest in my first data set is a quite bright, concentrated spot in the EZ. I have imaged this previously and it is included in my spread sheet, in the same data set is a bright spot in the NEB.



Have included a R channel animation, only 3 frames over the 3 hours. The bright EZ spot can be seen close to the P limb, the bright NEB spot pops in and out approx midway between the F limb & the CM while the dark spot down on the storm remnant is in the final 2 of 3 frames and moves from the F side to the CM. The dark spot also shows up nicely in the polar projections of the R & IR data.

Thanks for looking .


Regards
Trevor
