Here is a Saturn image from Feb 7th. Conditions here were mostly good to excellent this night, but poorer transparency.
Interesting to note the blue coloured northern hemisphere is seen through the Cassini division. I strongly suspect when it reappears next appartion it will have a strong blue colouration.
For the benefit of Paolo, this one is exactly 3776 images for luminance taken between 22:14 - 22:21 UT. No spots are seen in any wavelength.
Full sequence to follow later.

2005/02/09 22:14-21 UTC. 9.25" (23.5 cm) Celestron SCT @ f/39.5
ATK-1HS CCD camera + RGB filters. Seeing good-excellent (Pickering 7-9.)
Wind Calm, occ SE (0-3mph.) Eq Diam=20.2"
Altitude=60 degs.

Very little activity present.
