Seeing was good with a light breeze that caused the image to jump all over the screen at times. And,I mean a light breeze! But,the breeze did keep the mosquitoes at bay. See attached.

Please find attached a Saturn drawing made last night in rather poor conditions. As well as taken intensity estimates, the planet was examined in W#25A (red), W#80A (light blue), W#47 (violet), W#21 (orange) and W#58. Things of note:
Globe:
* SPR now visible, so too is the ShRG which now appear above the ansae in the south
* EB seems to have been present
* NEB broad. At times I was of the impression of a number of darker sections within the NEB(s).
* NEB seems to give way to a darker NTropZ?
* NTB hard to see tonight.
* NPR a vague dark region in the far north.
Rings:
* A-Ring of a brownish hue.
* Cassini Division seen, though only at ansae edges
* B1-Ring bright, white in colour.
* B2-Ring present near to the C-Ring
At times it seemed there were a number of fine details on the disk but it was impossible to record them in time.
