Comments: Imaged Saturn July 6th in good seeing. The North Polar Vortex is well resolved as are the vertices of the polar hexagon. I note large diffuse bright spots on the two flats of the hex toward the P limb also on the flats of the hex just rotating into view from the F limb. There is a small compact dark spot best seen in the R & RGB data at approx Lat+59.3 L3 350.3 close to that is a large diffuse bright spot at approx Lat+62.1 L3 341.4 I also note a bright spot at approx Lat+34.8 L3 327.1. All recorded detail is marked in my animations.
