Comments: Saturn data captured in very good seeing. The 685nm-Pass IR and R channel data very well resolve the morphology of the north polar storm remnant. The RGB data also resolves this structure but it is more muted by the G & B data. Within the polar storm structure there are resolved quite intricate details with many brighter and darker components. The most obvious of these is a compact dark spot at approx Lat+65 L3 346.2. The IR data also well resolves a bright spot at approx Lat+22.6 L3 4.2 while the R channel data resolves a bright spot at approx Lat+29.1 L3 322.9. There are other spots that can be seen by blinking image pairs. There is a linear feature within the EZ which is apparent in all IR, R & RGB data, this seems to have a rough edge to it which can be seen well in the IR, R and RGB animations. I note that this linear feature also is seen in the Ch4 data.
