Comments: Imaged Saturn Feb 24th in 742nm IR at low altitude in poor to fair seeing. The Southern edge of the NPR is quite well defined and the North polar hexagon can just be discerned, the rings are closing and as that continues the hexagon will became ever harder to define. This data covers the opposite side of the planet with regards to L3 from my Feb 18th data with no storm activity resolved along the edge of the NPR.
