Attached is an observation of Saturn I made with Jon Culshaw using his 6 inch SCT Meade telescope in Hampstead.
The rings were notably brighter due to the opposition effect,the C-Ring was much harder to see.
The NEB was the most prominent belt on the disk,with some polar shading present.
Greenish tint to the NTropZ still visible.

Here is an image from the 28th. Overslept so completely missed the planet at the meridian.
This was a quick run taken when the planet had dropped to 30deg. Note the storms/spots visible around the polar region.
