Dear all-
 I have attached my images of Saturn that was taken early
Monday morning Oct. 1st between 9:43 UT and 10:23 UT.
 The seeing was nearly perfect 8-9/10 on the ALPO scale.
The dew was heavy but the correcting plate was protected.
I guess it is nothing much to be seen on
the disk. Now, I don't weather if the spot is on the night
side or beyond the resolution of my 8-inch telescope.
We shall see!!

Hi Guys
Here is an image of Saturn taken October 1st 2002 at 10:42 UT from Houston
Texas. This image represents the last day of a string of good seeing days in
Houston that was ended by the close approach of Hurricane Lili.

 Seeing was good to excellent 8-9/10. Transparancy was good 7/10, no
wind and very heavy dew.
