For the observers who didn't catch the STrZ-spot on Saturn yet,don't
worry,it's still there....

The last weeks no observation was possible due to constant cloudy
weather,though in the night of 26/27 Febr.
there was a variable satuation with some breaks.It was the luck that one
break took place just at the time when
the STrZ-spot would just have crossed the CM,at least when the CM of the WOS
would be still around 180.

The images show that it was indeed.The animation shows also the movement of
moon Tethys,nicely moving along
with the spot!

Here is an additional animation of images obtained from 23:30(Febr 26) until 00:21(Febr 27) UTC
We see the rotation of Tethys along with the STrZ-spot.
Taken in a short break between clouds.Note the irregularities caused by seeing between the
different images.
