We were supposed to be clouded-out, last night.  However, I noticed that the
skies cleared around 10pm and the seeing steadied around the time of
culmination.  With Saturn at about 38 degrees altitude, here are some images
of the ringed gas-giant.

Seeing was okay this evening but I had limited imaging time because of clouds. Transparency wasn't great.
Note the white spot on the NNTZ. This might be part of the remnant of the great 2010 storm. The north polar hexagon is distinct. The Encke minima is prominent. One can also see the Crepe ring.

Bad seeing for my new setup test: motorised focus and new optical assembly...
