Here I am again, since last first days of January, for posting some
Saturn images of last April 19th under fair to little good seeing
conditions captured in my personal observatory (under final woks in
progress) at my top floor in Palermo centre.
These are my first Saturn captured images of this 2013 opposition!

A little hint of the Encke minima is visible because non optimal
seeing conditions,  there is a little White spot very near a dark spot
(North of the NEB) which can be seen better in the attached animation
which you can see, these are the result of 4 bests capturing of that
night in Red light.
The Red image, captured @ 610 nm, show better the two small spots.
Other datails can seen, in my opinion, during the rotation of the 4
images.
The North polar hexagon is prominent in the best one image of 23:26 U.T.

Finally, I captured also the two brightest moons near Saturn, Rhea &
Dione, just to show the difference in brightness and size of the two
moons.
