Comments: Imaged Saturn September 12th, had a good forecast for the jet stream. As it turned out I have 3 hours of excellent 685nm IR data along with two excellent Methane data sets but sadly, had operator error problems with the r, g & b data. I may be getting to old for this. Detail resolved in these data. A low contrast bright spot approx Lat+52.2 L3 268.1 A large low contrast bright features at approx Lat+30.3 L3 254 A bright EZ feature at approx Lat+1.2 L1 320.5 in CH4 data A bright EZ feature at approx Lat+11 L1 324.2 in CH4 data A series of widely spaced compact bright spots on the edge of the ring shadow at approx Lat-18.7 L1 264.4, Lat-19.1 L1 319.7, Lat-18.3 L1 5.3 The long lived Southern red spot at approx Lat-55.2 L3 327.1
