Comments: Imaged Saturn April 9th in reasonable seeing for the altitude. Data is improving as Saturn rises higher but still not good enough to resolve very small scale discrete detail. Have included a 685nm IR animation covering 33 minutes of Saturn rotation. The ring opening relative to Earth is now 4 degrees.
