Conditions were reasonable with a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius,
not common for a winter night,and no wind.
There were some clouds at a high altitude passing fast in front of Saturn
but during breaks I was able to get 7 RGB sequences that were de-rotated 19 minutes.
It seems to me that there is an atmospheric disturbance at 59N after Central Meridian.

In fair to good seeing. Have data covering 2hrs 14 minfs of Saturn rotation. The North polar vortex and vertices of the hexagon are well seen in 685nm IR. The IR also resolves some of the thin concentric banding structure within the North polar collar. IR data also resolves a compact dark spot on the Southern edge of the North polar collar at approx Lat+60.1 L3 252.5. The R channel data and RGB data well resolves a relatively large diffuse bright spot just within the Southern edge of the North polar collar at approx Lat+62.7 L3 246.8 both the compact dark spot and diffuse bright spots mentioned are well seen in the animations.
