According to this observation from last night,there are not
just 2 spots in the STrZ,but these are bigger parts of a
larger structured field with another storm following the
brightest of the 2 spots.So the bright storm is in the mid now.
Note the wavy structure of the Zone,caused by these storms.

seeing:>1.0-1.5<''

The great activity in the STrZ,dominated by the 2 bright
spots we see in most images(the brightest is currently the one at f-rotation)
seems to be just parts of a larger field of activity in the very much
structured zone.According to these observations there are at least 3 obvious spots.
The HC animations(especially the neg ones)show the 3 structures.The brightest spot
is in the mid.The older spot in at left.Note here the clear wavy structure


  

I have attached a special processing showing the interesting
area in the Saturn STrZ.Especially the typical wavy shape of the
area is visible.I mean to remember older drawings from visual
observers which show the same thing,but I can't refer exactly
to anything at the moment.

本当に久しぶりの土星です。前はいつ撮ったか覚えてません。
それくらいの長い休みとういより、シーングの悪さがどうしようも
有りません。今回は透明度はよく無かったのですが、リング短径
までカッシーニが見えるシーングだったので撮影しました。

Finally sitting first row,all the storms (i count three) are just past the meridian. I could observe the brightest of the three,capture during twillight

Under bad seeing conditions. At least 2 spots are visible. The left one could be split up.
