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.
