Monsoon is still active here. It's been raining here almost everyday. I had a clearing today. But the SW monsoon is making seeing unstable and transparency was variable.
Here is are IR images of Saturn. The first image uses a >720nm filter. The 63N storm can be seen rising on the left. The contrast is very poor. It may be because seeing was so bad tonight or this feature is fading.
The lower image was taken using a narrow band Methane Band filter (889nm). No interesting feature in Methane band. The EZ bright in CH4 while the belts are dark.
