Saturn April 4th in pretty ordinary seeing

Hi All,

Imaged Saturn this morning, conditions were pretty ordinary but good enough to show some storm detail and also a faint plume in the SEB along with Rhea & Tethys.

Have attached 1 RGB & 807nm IR data set as well as an animationj of all RGB data. Rhea is the lower of the two moons with Tethys closer to the planet. I have also indicate the faint plume in the SEB.

Thanks for looking
Regards
Trevor
