Comments: Imaged Saturn July 5th 2022 in variable seeing, I ended up deleting the first hours data as it really was not good enough. Have used all following data which covers 1 hr 52 min of Saturn rotation. The jet stream made resolving small scale detail within the Northern Hemisphere somewhat problematic however as the Southern Hemisphere becomes increasingly exposed to Sunlight small scale detail continues to appear in spite of the unfavourable jet stream. My 685nm IR animation covers 1 hr 35 min of Saturn rotation and it infers small scale detail within the Southern Hemisphere. My RGB animation covers 1 hr 3 min of Saturn rotation while my R channel animation covers 1 hr 52 min of Saturn rotation. The one CH4 data run which was at the end of the session came up quite well and does resolve some low contrast structure in the EZ.
