I send this picture that I got working on the movie again last night. Perhaps
a movie could do a better job,but will process them in the coming days.
However,already visible in this picture the initial point of the storm.

Jim Phillips(254mm TMB)
It seems like it has been a while since I was able to capture an image of Saturn plus the storm. Looks like it is doing just fine.
Pretty comfortable this morning at ~ 45 degrees F.
I had the alarm set for 3:00 AM but woke up at 2:00 and got up a bit early. Better early than late. Seeing improved as the night wore on. This image is one of the best of the morning.

Probably should have waited until it got higher but we were getting  tired.

The storm remains bright in the shorter wavelengths. 
In NIR the dark feature in the northern branch is conspicuous as imaged by Trevor Barry at 807 nm on 16 February.

storm先端部の輝きが減少、大きさも小さくなった様です。
その東側は縦に分断する白斑が明るく、その南側にまで伸びた淡いものが見える。 
IR画像では顕著になっている。
