Comments: Imaged Saturn July 21st at opposition. All data was captured through a thin veil of cloud which dropped the histogram for each channel about 20 to 30% but the live feed was stable with crisp detail. Quite surprising detail is resolved in all data, the 685nm IR well resolves the North polar vortex and vertices of the hexagon. The thin concentric banding structure within the North polar collar is well resolved in IR and R channel data. A compact dark spot is resolved in IR and R data at approx Lat+59.9 L3 172.7 and a large diffuse spot is resolved within the polar collar in the RGB data at approx Lat+62 L3 160.9
