Saturn Sept 9th in good seeing

Imaged Saturn Sept 9th in good seeing, the best I have had in 2015 for Saturn. My data covers just over 68 minutes of Saturn rotation. The +63 spot had passed the CM prior to my acquisition of Saturn, which was with the sky still quite bright. I have 3 685nm IR data sets at approx 30 minute intervals and the spot is nicely resolved in all of them and is also well seen in my IR polar projection at 08:52 UTC. My R & RGB data, which is quite high res shows no hint of the +63 spot. The spot is very well seen in my IR animation, have also attached my updated drift chart.



Regards
Trevor

Hi Trevor

What superb images and what an outstanding animation, although you may have to fess up about which spacecraft you mounted your camera on, to grab these amazing images!

Great work!

Cheers

Dennis

Thanks very much Dennis, sure was stoked watching the live feed coming in, thus far this apparition conditions have mostly been rather ordinary, that said I still have acquired a large volume of data but this data resolves the main feature I have been tracking very nicely.
