Comments: Saturn data from July 8th. Have spent considerable time measuring detail in WinJUPOS. The session covers 2.5 hours of Saturn rotation in seeing that fluctuated between fair and good. The two long lived bright spots just inside the NPR are well resolved and I measure them to be at approx Lat+64.5 L3 214.2 & Lat+63.7 L3 223.2. There is considerable activity in the EZ. The high amplitude ripple in the EZ impinging up into the NEB is resolved at approx Lat+15.2 L1 210.8 and there are at least another two smaller ripples at approx Lat+14.8 L1 184.4 and Lat+14.9 l1 126.4. Considerable bright and dark structure is resolved within the EZ with several bright spots. I have marked two of these which I have measured in multiple data sets that are approx 30 minutes apart so are real detail at approx Lat-3 L1 129.8 and Lat-4.4 L1 85.7.
