Comments: Imaged Saturn July 14th in fair to good seeing. Have data covering 2hrs 14 min’s of Saturn rotation. The North polar vortex and vertices of the hexagon are well seen in 685nm IR. The IR also resolves some of the thin concentric banding structure within the North polar collar. IR data also resolves a compact dark spot on the Southern edge of the North polar collar at approx Lat+60.1 L3 252.5. The R channel data and RGB data well resolves a relatively large diffuse bright spot just within the Southern edge of the North polar collar at approx Lat+62.7 L3 246.8 both the compact dark spot and diffuse bright spots mentioned are well seen in the animations.
