I was observing Saturn this morning with a 10" Dob at 203x, and could easily see the bright white storm in Saturn's northern hemisphere. Has anyone else seen it? The seeing here was surprisingly good, and I had the scope out with the fan running for an hour before observing. It was a pleasant 21° F out, with a light wind.

I wish I could Steve, but it's all I can do to get myself up at 4:30 to go to work.
Hasn't been much pleasant about the weather here in OKC this week though. I may give it a try this weekend. I'd love to see it. Some of the photos I've seen are pretty spectacular.
