Condition was excellent this evening. Seeing and transparency was perfect.

Nothing really special going on with Saturn. No moons are visible. But the band detail is very nice. Note the dark spot on the EZs/SEBn. Note also the white irregular band north of the SEB. Is this associated with the dark barge?

The band details on the southern hemisphere is very distinct. 3 distinct SEB bands can be seen.

The northern hemisphere is very dull and bluish.

Nice Cassini curve showing! How was the Hubble moon transit session? (I saw your name on the credits.)
