Description

Another image from the same night as my recent Jupiter post.

Seeing had actually improved by the time I was ready to image Saturn but unfortunately this didn't last. Nonetheless, the captures I was able to complete produced a pleasing amount of detail around the polar hexagon and vortex without too much noise evident.

There are hints of possible storm activity in the broader polar region, but unfortunately I was not able to collect enough data to produce an animation and confirm this.

This image represents a de-rotation of 6 x 120s captures @ 60fps, with the top 20% of frames stacked from each capture.
