Comments: Imaged Saturn March 16th in reasonable seeing over the whole session which became even better toward the end. The North Polar Hexagon is very well defined as is the North Polar Vortex. I note a ripple on the Northern edge of the EZ which is at approx Lat+15 L1 192.5 after animating my data I also noticed another ripple preceding the first one but with lesser amplitude at approx Lat+15 L1 162.8 there are also some bright spots within the North polar region that are not that well defined but as Saturn rises higher of course I expect better resolution in this region. Regards Trevor
