Comments: Imaged Saturn October 8th targeting a transit of the GWS AV. This session covered 3 hr 15 min of Saturn rotation in good seeing however the first 90 min of data had cloud passing through which effected the transparency. In spite of the cloud passing through there is good depth of small scale detail resolved. Detail resolved in these data. An elogated bright spot on the edge of the North Polar collar at approx Lat+64.3 L3 81.4 resolved in IR data. A bright spot on the edge of the North Polar collar at approx Lat+64.3 L3 98 resolved in RGB data.
