I wasn't going to try Saturn after an aborted Mars session this morning, due to horrendous seeing. However, I swung over and it appeared that Saturn held up a bit better than Mars in the conditions, although still far from ideal. I ran 9x90s R captures over a 15 min period, of which I eventually derotated 6. I was off course interested to see if the alleged "sunlight sliver" from the 5 April would be visible, but, to my eye, nothing is obvious. Given the conditions, maybe not a surprise. I assume it would be best to direct stack this feature rather than derotating, but I am happy to "follow the data" and see what results come out over the next month. There may be a light spot in the EZ, but again, would need confirming.[Clyde Foster:Centurion,South Africa]
