Imaged Saturn Oct 2nd in reasonable seeing for the alt. Have some interesting data.
There seems to be a bright EZ feature, particularly in my IR data in two data sets 28 minutes apart. This feature is not as easy to see as was the EZ feature I have been tracking over the last couple of months. I have attached an animation of the two IR data sets which makes it easier to see the feature. I measure it to be at L3 310.4 degrees, Lat + 4.5 degrees. Putting this data point into the drift chart of my other EZ feature, it is clear that this is a different feature from that. I now only have a window of approx 30 minutes from when Saturn pops out in the twilight before it drops into the top of some trees to the west of my observatory so I expect my Saturn season to last not much longer now.
Have attached the IR animation I referred to in my previous post. I apologize for neglecting to attach it with my previous data for Oct 2nd.
