Comments: Saturn June 10th in good seeing. The 685nm IR data well resolves the North Polar vortex with the vertices of the polar hexagon very well defined. Concentric rings of structure are resolved in the North polar collar. There is a bright spot on the edge of the hexagon at approx Lat+77.5 L3 87.6 there is also a bright spot resolved at approx Lat+30.6 L3 152.9. At least two ripples are also resolved on the edge of the EZ impinging into the NEB, The R channel data also resolves the structure within the North polar collar along with the ripples on the edge of the EZ.
