Saturn: equatorial spot ephemeris by M.Delcroix
A spot in Saturn's equatorial zone has been observed simultaneously by several observer on June 21st, 
here is my image of it under average conditions:

It had been observed previously, I found several observations, compute its drifting rate 
(confirmed by the pros) and prepare for you an ephemeris of its central meridian transit 
(under bracket its longitude) - observe between }2h from the time given:

WinJUPOS 10.1.15 (Saturn), C.M. transit times, 2015/06/24  23:42
Object longitude: L3 = 107,7 - 37,0743/d * (T - 2015 May 20,5)
Time interval: 2015 Jun 20,0 ... 2015 Jul 31,0
Output format: Date UT (C.M. of System 3)
