Imaged Saturn this morning, Feb 23rd. Have quite reasonable Saturn data.
As usual I commenced my Saturn session with 685nm IR data which was effected somewhat by a ripple that was going through the rings but as it rose higher
and I commenced my RGB captures Saturn stabilized resulting in quite reasonable data.
Of particular note is a bright spot, best seen in the RGB, in the region of last years storm remnant. I measure it to be at approx Lat+63.7 L3 154.5 .
By the time I had commenced capturing the B channel the sky was blue with the Sun just below the horizon.
I have this feeling that I am going to have a very good time of it at my Broken Hill Observatory with Saturn in 2020.
Note I measured the Saturn bright spot with the WinJUPOS zoom function set at +2.37
