To supplement the Cassini ISS images of the CV, we used ground-based images taken by A. Wesley and T. Barry. Both observers captured images of Saturn using 16-inch (405-mm) telescopes. We manually navigated these images using the WinJUPOS software package to confirm that the bright cloud features observed were at the same longitude and latitude of the CV as inferred from Cassini ISS tracking. Ground-based images were not used to track the CV.

You would think with a USD3.2 billion spacecraft it would be game, set
and match, but it is fantastic you could correlate and confirm the front-row
seat observations it was making with more modestly priced kit in your
own backyards. You two though are the "special sauce" that make this
possible through your dedication, skill and passion. We're blown away!
