Comments: Imaged Saturn September 15th in mostly good seeing. The North polar vortex and vertices of the hexagon are well resolved in the 685nm IR data. The IR data also resolves a mid latitude bright spot at approx Lat+36.6 L3 92.6 along with a large diffuse bright spot at approx Lat+20.4 L3 82.1 both of these features are marked in the IR animation. It is likely that the previously mentioned detail is also in the R and RGB data but of course movement is key to the positive identification of such detail and I regret I have no animations of those wavelengths for this session.
