Here is Saturn from April 21st in good seeing. Not quite as good as the 20th but none the less various discrete features can be seen across the disk. Saturn's belts/zone boundaries seem quite ill defined this apparition - something of noticed in images by others also. Quite unlike its notably stripy appearance in past years.

Here is an image of the polar hexagon from April 21st in RGB and R filter.
