Saturn April 10th 2013

[Quark (Trevor)]

Hi All,

Imaged Saturn this morning in quite reasonable seeing, have captured the bright spot on the Southern edge of the storm remnant previously reported by Bird and my animations show several diffuse features within the NEB.

The long lived dark spot on the Southern edge of the storm remnant is visible in my final 742nm IR data from 16:46 UTC, it is just to the F side of the CM.
Once again our drift chart proved quite accurate as a predictor for the position of the dark spot.

Thanks for looking.



Regards
Trevor

Forgot the IR with the dark spot.

It is always enjoyable to see your results (as well as Asimov & Bird's)
As much as anything, I appreciate the way you guys try to render the
planet(s) accurately.

Nice Trev. Great colour as usual. Cloud and jet here, so sleeping is the order of the day.

Hi Trevor
I enjoyed these - the subtle changes in the animation (I did not notice them at first) is quite stunning!

Thanks very much Clive, we have some pretty powerful processing tools at our fingertips these days and it is so easy to overcook it but a try not to.
