There was a chance to see the SED storm again this morning,although it was poorly placed low in the sky for me and so the resolution suffers a bit,and atmospheric dispersion prevents the colour channels from aligning properly. The storm is still visible in this image but it does seem to be fainter than before. The zone to the west (right) of the storm still appears to be brighter than on the east.
Tethys and its shadow are just visible above (south) of the rings on the right hand edge of the disk. Rhea can be seen just below the rings on the right.
If the weather holds then we'll have another view tonight when Saturn is closer to the zenith and should be much better.


Here is an image of Saturn from early in the session of March 25 in very good seeing. The SED storm was not yet visible at this time. Tethys is visible to the right,above the rings,and Enceladus is hiding just below the rings on the left adjacent to the planet. It's a bit hard to see


Ok,one last image from this session,this is about an hour before the SED storm reached the cm but the seeing here was a bit better than the later image. The SED region can be seen at the top right and also visible is Tethys (above the ring) and Rhea (below the ring). Dione is faintly visible at the extreme right hand edge.
