Seeing was good this evening. Transparency was variable due to haze and some thin clouds.
Here are some good images of Saturn showing the +63N storm. The storm is very well resolved in the IR images but difficult to make out in the RGB image. Even in the red filter, it is a very low contrast smudge. The spot has also become more oval and lower contrast in IR.
Note the white band on the NEBs. The polar hexagon is well resolved. The polar vortex spot is obvious on the IR image.
