Comments: Imaged Saturn August 2nd at opposition in good seeing. The previous night the seeing had been very good over a three hour session but the 2TB Seagate external drive that I use specifically for capture, down in my observatory, lost power during processing and is no longer recognised by any of my computers. I think, maybe, this is karma that August 2nd has turned out quite good. Have good R, G & B data and very good 685nm IR data, the seeing just kept getting better through the session. The two long lived coupled bright spots just inside the NPR are well resolved at approx Lat+64.2 L3 274 and Lat+63 L3 288.2. There is considerable low contrast activity within the EZ which is well resolved in 685nm IR data, these plumes and spots are also well seen in the polar maps. I measure the most prominent of these spots to be at approx Lat+0.6 L1 328.1, Lat+9.2 L1 339.5 and Lat+6.6 L1 354 these three EZ spots are well seen in the 685nm IR animation.
