in good seeing targeting a CM transit of the 2010 GWS AV. Have extensive coverage of just over 2 1/2 hours of Saturn rotation.
The 685nm IR very well resolves the North polar vortex and vertices of the hexagon.
Also the concentric structure of thin banding within the North polar collar is well seen with several bright spots within this structure.
There are so many features within the polar collar that I refrained from marking them in my IR animation,there movement makes them self evident.
The 2010 GWS AV is very well resolved at approx Lat+43 L3 341.1. The IR animation also resolves two ripples on the Southern edge of the dark band that is the 2010 GWS evolved remnant,
these features precede the AV. At least one prominent ripple is seen on the edge of the EZ impinging up into the NEB the very long thin bright streak which has seemed to be associated with the largest amplitude ripple on the edge of the EZ is well seen in the NEB,
parallel with and very near the edge of the EZ.
