Comments: Imaged Saturn June 21st in fair to good seeing, have data covering 2hrs 15 min’s of Saturn rotation. There is considerable activity in the Southern Hemisphere which is best seen in my 685nm IR data and is marked in the IR animation. Two prominent ripples are resolved on the EZ / NEB border impinging up into the NEB at approx Lat+14.9 L1 286.9 and Lat+14.8 L1 311. There is dark band of material from limb to limb mid EZ, this is broken up by diffuse brighter features. Within this structure is a well defined elogated dark feature at approx Lat+6.4 L1 275.9. There is considerable activity resolved in the Southern Hemisphere with a series of bright spots seen extending across the planet just below the ring shadow at approx Lat-30.4 L3 139.3, Lat-30 L3 160.2, Lat-30 L3 170.2 and Lat-30.1 L3 180.2. I also note a very prominent large dark spot at approx Lat-44.1 L3 153.1 I have previously imaged this feature on multiple occasions. I also note a large bright spot at approx Lat-49.4 L3 94.
