Comments: Imaged Saturn August 3rd in good seeing. The 685nm-Pass IR data resolves faint structure within the NPR with a well resolved bright spot at approx Lat+64.6 L3 129.8. The vertices of the polar hexagon are well defined as is the North Polar Vortex. Prominent parallel linear features are resolved in the EZ along with two bright spots at approx Lat+1.2 L1 272.7 and Lat+0.8 L1 261.5. The R channel data also resolves the Lat+64.6 bright spot, also a bright spot at approx Lat+29.4 L3 149.5. The two bright EZ spots measured in the IR data are also seen in the R data. The RGB data also resolves the Lat+64.6 bright spot and the Lat+29.4 bright spot.
