Hi All,
Imaged Saturn May 30th in good seeing have data covering 2 hours 16 minutes of Saturn rotation and it is all very good. These have been the best data I have captured thus far this apparition. All data has been uploaded to PVOL with links here to the animations.

Have resolved small scale detail from pole to pole including a significant level of activity within the EZ. I have only marked a selection of the resolved detail otherwise there would simply be to many indicating lines within the animations and insets. It seems Saturn is continuing on with the level of activity seen through 2024 especially that which was seen August through December. All resolved detail is well seen in the animations and insets.
