here's a 2 frame animation that shows a lot of cloud detail by comparison. Also Dione was captured completely by chance.

Christophe Pellier (250mm Cassegrain)
Here are some new images - the planet is still bluish. I have spent some time looking directly through the eyepiece ; at moderate magnification,the temperate latitudes of the planet looked grey-blue,the tipycal yellow hue of the globe is only present now on the equatorial zone...
Some spots are again detected in red and R+IR.
PS a french amateur,Jean-Luc Dauvergne,with Francois Colas,has recently took some excellent images at the Pic du Midi with an incredible resolution in infrared light. You can see the images on Astrosurf :
