Clyde Foster
My third planet for the morning.
Again I had a degradation in seeing towards sunrise rather than the improvement that we often see,
but I decided to persevere with trying to get RGB data.
The B was very poor and the RGB result is likely of limited value. The R data was best.

Christopher Go
Condition was unstable today.  I was only able to stack some data when seeing improved a bit.
There is a hint of the red EZ spot just past the CM.  The polar hexagon and polar spot is obvious in the IR image.

CM of 20:56UT = I:85 II:337 III:333(Not 33)

Although the seeing conditions hid small details, it was much better than the previous morning.
Notes:
The northern regions are redder compared to last apparition.
The southernmost regions peeking out from under the rings are visibly bluer than the rest of the planet.
