白斑から前進する雲の先端を捉えることができました。
シーイングが悪くて精度は高くありませんが、たぶん先端だと思います。
白斑本体は見えません。

The seeing was too terrible on the morn of Dec. 28 to 
image a planet but monitoring the storms in the Northern hemisphere of Saturn is 
important. These storms have been monitored for over three weeks by ALPO 
astronomers. They cover such a large area of Saturn and are so bright white that 
they should be visible in telescopes using a magnification of 150x or greater. 
This may be the biggest outburst of storms in modern times. Good seeing.
