Comments: Imaged Saturn September 16th in mostly good seeing. Have resolved a bright spot dark spot pair on the edge of the North polar collar, these have been persistent features since mid August. These data have a certain balance to them insofar as the two far North spots are nicely accompanied by two far South spots. These data resolve. A bright spot at approx Lat+64.9 L3 322.1 resolved in IR and R data. A dark spot at approx Lat+63 L3 0.5 resolved in IR data. A bright spot at approx Lat-49.5 L3 322.1 resolved in IR and R data. The long lived red spot at approx Lat-55.9 L3 315.4 resolved in IR data.
