I had improved conditions this morning,and I attach double sets of R and IR captures,together with the best RGB data that I captured.
Mimas and its shadow were in transit,just below the rings,but I believe exceptional seeing conditions would be required to have any chance of detecting them.

Condition was perfect this morning. The QHY5III678M camera continues to amaze me. It is very low noise. Before imaging Saturn was a pain because I need around 1 hour worth of data to get images like this. Now it takes less than half and hour even less than 20 minutes to capture amazing images! I have spoken to Mike Wong who also has this camera and he told me that he had not issue with the IR sensitivity of his camera. I guess I just had bad luck with my camera.
A lot of details are resolved in Saturn. But no major storms at this time.
