Comments: Imaged Saturn April 15th in reasonable seeing for the low altitude. These data cover 42 minutes of Saturn rotation so not really enough time between data sets. However I do note a low contrast bright spot at approx Lat-55.4 L3 4.2. This is very similar to the –55 spot I tracked all through last apparition starting from April 2nd 2023. At the time Agustin mentioned that it matched the latitude of the Voyager era Anne spot. Looking forward to much longer imaging sessions as Saturn rises higher.
