Comments: Imaged Saturn May 17th in good seeing have very good data at all wavelengths covering 98 minutes of Saturn rotation. The Lat+63 bright spot from my April 25th data is resolved here near the P limb in the first data set of the session at approx Lat+63.2 L3 131.8 I note a large diffuse bright feature at approx Lat+53.8 L3 221.1 resolved in G, RGB & B data. Several ripples impinging up into the Southern edge of the NNTeB are resolved and I have marked the one with the highest amplitude at approx Lat+46.6 L3 213.4 a mid latitude bright spot is resolved at approx Lat+29.6 L3 269.1. At least two ripples are resolved in the EZ impinging up into the NEB at approx Lat+14 L1 323.1 and Lat+13.7 L1 295.5. Of great interest in the EZ is a very bright compact spot peeking out from the edge of the ring shadow at approx Lat-5.5 L1 243.4. All of the above mentioned features are well seen in the 685nm IR, R, G, B and RGB animations.
