Trevor Barry(406mm Newtonian)
Had a slight reprieve from the Jetstream last night and captured some useable data.
There is a bright spot in the EZ,it looks very similar to one of the two EZ spots in my April 26th data. This spot is visible in R & 742nm IR. The seeing was quite variable,I threw away between 60 & 70% of the data from each data set that was used to produce these images so the rgb images suffered the most.
Have marked in the positions of the bright EZ spot and attached animations of it in R & IR. The animations are certainly helpful in verifying what is real detail or artifacts. Note that the R channel animation is over 30 minutes but due to the arrival of some cloud the IR animation is much longer,just under an hour.
I have made a polar projection of the best R channel from this session to include in my ongoing polar hex animation project.

Here are the results of a short stay at Pic du Midi, with the 1 meter telescope: R+IR/IR Saturn - at less than 28° high, taken with my brand new ZWO ASI120MM which was for the first time used here (so I do not know the best configuration yet).
