Decent seeing despite very poor transparency.

My Saturn and Mars imaging has taken a bit of a hammering these last couple of months due to a variety of reasons,
some positive and others negative (extended periods of poor seeing has been a significant one for Saturn).
Anyway,I managed to squeeze in a quick set on monitoring R and IR captures yesterday evening.

The jet stream was a problem however the 685nm IR handled it surprisingly well.
The North polar vortex is well resolved as are the vertices of the polar hexagon.
The thin concentric banding structure within the North polar collar is quite well resolved
and a large amplitude ripple is seen on the edge of the EZ impinging up into the NEB toward the F limb.
