Comments: Imaged Saturn August 29th, have good 685nm IR and R channel data while G & B were fair. The IR nicely resolves the North polar vortex and vertices of the hexagon. Both IR and R data very nicely resolve the thin concentric banding within the North polar collar (NPR) and well resolve the fast moving dark and bright spots. IR and R data also well resolve a large elongated bright feature leading the dark spot bright spot combination. I measure the large bright elongated feature to be centered on approx Lat+63.5 L3 26.1 I measure the concentrated dark spot to be at approx Lat+64.7 L3 43.5 with the associated concentrated bright spot at approx Lat+63.6 L3 53.3. The R channel data also resolves a bright spot at approx Lat+35.7 L3 7.7. Of further interest, both IR and R channel data resolve a very concentrated v-small bright spot just peeking out from under the ring shadow in the EZ at approx Lat-6.9 L1 301.5
