Comments: Imaged Saturn December 20th in surprisingly good seeing all the way down to 29 degrees alt.
Summer does not usually give up very much good data here in the OZ outback especially when imaging low to the west due to imaging through the heat energy from the day dissipating back up into the atmosphere.
Detail resolved in these data.
A bright spot on the Southern edge of the NTrB at approx Lat+30.9 l3 208 resolved in IR data.
A compact bright spot peeking out from below the ring shadow at approx Lat-21.6 L3 203.2 resolved in IR data.
A bright spot at approx Lat-49.3 L3 210.3 resolved in IR and R data.
