Imaged Saturn Oct 1st in good seeing for the alt, have very nicely resolved the anticyclone fossil from the Great Storm. I measure it to be at L3 178 degrees Lat + 42.7 degrees. It is well seen in my R channel s2014-10-01_09-10-48_r_tba, also in the polar projection of that data set. It can also be seen in my RGB s2014-10-01_09-17_rgb_tba as well as that associated polar projection.
Looking at my drift chart I couldn't help but reflect on the length of time this anticyclone has persisted, from its formation in Jan 2011 right through to now. Looking back through my 2012 & 2013 data I believe the actual size of this dark spot has remained rather constant right through 2014.
