Comments: Have created polar maps from the four 685nm IR data sets which cover 98 minutes of Saturn rotation, have also created polar maps from the three RGB data sets. I apologize for missing the storm, bright spot on the very edge of one side of the hexagon. I pride myself on being extremely thorough with my data but the IR polar maps clearly resolve this bright spot on the hexagon. I went back to the IR data sets I used for the insets included in my uploaded data and by zooming them significantly in WinJUPOS easily identified this spot in all four data sets. Have made another 685nm IR animation with the hex spot marked and have uploaded it along with the polar maps to PVOL. So as not to duplicate my original 685nm IR animation on PVOL I have changed the time for this animation by one minute, hope that is ok. I measure this bright spot on the edge of the hexagon to be at approx Lat+79 L3 207.6
