This is an image of Saturn,obtained on Febr 02,at 00:27 UTC
seeing: good,image processed on globe detail.

-the opposition effect is still good visible,note the bright rings compared
to the globe albedo.
I want to note on an interesting effect,namely a darkening through the A-ring in front of the planet.
This seems to have the same color as the NPR)
-the STZ storm is just behind the limb in this image,but will come into view later)

Attached is an additional monochrome HC processing taken at 00:01 UTC)

I captured the STZ spot again on Febr.02,almost the end of the session.
The CM-transit couldn't be captured due to upcoming low clouds.
The animation shows how the spot rotates into view from 00:27-01:01 UTC.

From the observations obtained in the first 2 weeks of February,mostly working between clouds and in poor seeing
but with one good seeing night,I have made this animation,which shows how the STrZ-spot,actually a thunderstorm
on Saturn,started to spread out.It starts compact at the limb,in the early Febr images.
The animation is featured in positive and a negative version for higher contrast.

Here my first Saturn of this opposition.....
I have films taken through Lumenera too,but this image taken with webcam Vesta Pro is the first elaboration which I have to do...
Next images,which I hope to send soon,they are taken through Lumenera camera.
A ipotetical WOS appear near right side of globe,but seeing conditions not was very good.

It seem me to see a wos in both the images.

Here a Saturn image taken in poor seeing,some spell with fair/good and good transparency.
When capturing the B image the seeing falled down to bad.

Notice the big WOS rising on the right and a suspect dark spot setting on the left side inside a turbulent STB stream.
