Despite the threat of clouds appearing soon in the weather forecast, we decided it was worth trying to beat them for an image. 
Turned out to be a good decision because seeing was quite good.

  - White Oval Z has just passed the central meridian.
  - Most of the Equatorial Zone is still orange
  - The northern regions of the South Equatorial Belt are light in color.
  - The Great Red Spot is at the central meridian.
  - A small storm is on the northern edge of the darkened GRS hollow.
  - Dark clouds from the GRS hollow appear to be entering the South Tropical Zone, with a wavy pattern on the southern edge.


Seeing seemed to improve a bit, which helped the near-infrared filter that already cuts through seeing better than RGB filters

  - White Oval Z is east of the central meridian.
  - The Great Red Spot is at the central meridian.
  - A small storm is on the northern edge of the darkened GRS hollow.
  - The northern edge of the GRS appears to be touching the small storm embedded in the GRS hollow, which is not the case in the RGB image.
  - Dark clouds from the GRS hollow appear to be entering the South Tropical Zone, with a wavy pattern on the southern edge.

Seeing remained good during the CH4 capture. Clouds started coming in from the south near the end of the capture, causing me to rush for Saturn before it was too late to capture it.

  - White Oval Z is east of the central meridian.
  - A dark hot spot in the Equatorial Zone is setting.
  - The Great Red Spot is just past the central meridian.
