Comments: Imaged Saturn October 9th in reasonable seeing, have only one 685nm IR run. The North polar vortex and vertices of the hexagon are well resolved and there is a hint of some of the structure within the polar colar (NPR). Subtle banding within the atmosphere is resolved, however at least one other data set would be required to animate or blink to positively identify discrete faint detail.
