Comments: Imaged Saturn October 28th 2019 from Sunset onward. The sky was very bright but initial data was quite reasonable. The 685nm-Pass IR data very well resolves the vertices of the polar hexagon and polar vortex. The animation of the IR data nicely shows the rotation of the vertices of the hex. The R and RGB data resolves a bright spot at approx Lat+30.5 L3 285.6
