Comments: Imaged Saturn August 14th, considerable amounts of cloud were moving through but the gaps big enough for my data runs provided good seeing. The North polar vortex and vertices of the hexagon are very well resolved in the 685nm IR data. The IR data also resolves some of the concentric structure within the North polar collar and the IR animation nicely resolves the brightest segment of that structure rotating in from the F limb. The R and RGB data resolves the dark and bright fast moving spots just inside the polar collar which I measure as follows; dark spot at approx Lat+63.1 L3 224.2, bright spot at approx Lat+62.1 L3 232.2. All wavelengths resolve the largest amplitude ripple in the EZ impinging into the NEB.
