Comments: Imaged Saturn April 13th in good seeing covering 1 hr 41 min’s of Saturn rotation. I note a bright spot on the edge of the polar hexagon at approx Lat+76.7 L3 75.7 with another fainter elongated spot at Lat+76.7 L3 23.9 these are best seen in the 742nm IR data. The R and RGB data resolve a large faint oval at approx Lat+29.5 L3 324 best seen in the final two RGB’s of the session. Various spots and ripples are resolved on the edge of the EZ at all wavelengths.
