In spite of the variable seeing, IR 685 nm and R data rendered a good wealth of atmospheric features over Saturn´s disc on my last session, on 2015 04 24.
Used a Celestron C11, at f/30, ASI 174MM and Astronomik and Baader filters.
On top, the animations for both channels.
Each frame came from 2 minutes WinJupos derotation, from 6:27 to 6:49 for IR685 and from 6:29 to 6:48 UTC for the Red channel.
Bellow are the WinJupos integration of the entire session, 4 minutes of data for each channel.
Lots os artifacts where the rings crosses over the planet, and over the borders, since the session spanned nearly one hour.
Nonetheless, I think the animation enhances and help spot the spots (...), confirming what is a little doubtfull in the individual images.
For a kind of confirmation, please, take a look at these amazing images from Mr. Tiziano Olivetti, from Thailand, in 2015/04/18, at ALPO Japan:
