It is 3 days before opposition!   I was suprised that I got perfect seeing today.
The rings of Saturn are brightening showing the Seeliger Effect (Opposition Effect)!
This is when the ice particles of the rings of Saturn lose their shadow as seen from earth and brighten up.
The EZ red storm in prominent just past the CM.  There is another EZ storm close to the CM. The polar hexagon is distinct.
Note the bright spot just below the polar hexagon.

薄雲が広がって、透明度が悪かったのですが、そこそこ写りました。衝が近く、輪が明るくなっています。
