Description

This is a five frame animation, using WinJupos to integrate two adjacent L filter captures each time, near 2 minutes of de-rotated data in each frame.

Some details appeared, not sure it is not artifactual, but some structures seems to follow Saturn´s rotation:

1 The "indentation" on the left side of the Big Hexagon, looks like it is a white oval, or some storm system in the transition zone.

2. Lots of little white and dark features, over the zones/belt transitions. Can be just noise.

3. A "serrated" Equatorial zone/NTrB transition

4. A prominent bright spot, at the meridian, in the EZ/NTrB region, which follows the rotation, and is trailed by some diagonal, festoon like streaks, over the EZ.

Trying to integrate everything in LRGB, but the B channel is just too noisy. Maybe a similar animation using R data. Will see.
