Comments: Saturn September 14th in good seeing all data well resolves the North Polar Hexagon and North Polar Vortex. The structure within the NPR has evolved into thin concentric rings of bright and darker material. Bright spots are seen within these thin rings. The most prominent of the resolved detail by wavelength are; the 685nm-Pass IR resolves bright spots at approx Lat+27.7 L3 222.3, Lat+35.2 L3 286.5, Lat+34.5 L3 279.7, Lat+26.7 L3 284.3. R channel data resolves bright spots at approx Lat+63.5 L3 283.3, Lat+61.5 L3 222.6, Lat+29.8 L3 223.2. RGB data resolves a bright spot at approx Lat+28.9 L3 223.2. As is always the case movement is key to identifying detail and structure with the animations of these data covering 97 minutes of Saturn rotation.
