Comments: Imaged Saturn November 10th targeting a transit of the 2010 GWS AV. Had reasonable seeing at Sunset which deteriorated rapidly after Sunset. Have one quite reasonable 685nm-Pass IR data set. The vertices of the North Polar Hexagon are well resolved as is the North Polar Vortex. Structure within the NPR is resolved with the most prominent detail being a large bright spot at approx Lat+62.3 L3 357.6 and a dark spot at Lat+60.7 L3 32.7. The 2010 GWS AV is resolved at approx Lat+43 L3 28.1 sadly by the time the AV was at the CM the seeing had deteriorated too much. Also in this data there is a bright EZ spot very near the CM at approx Lat+10.1 L1 218
