Comments: Imaged Saturn November 25th in quite reasonable seeing. The North Polar vortex is very well defined as are the vertices of the polar hexagon. The long lived dark spot (anticyclone) bright spot (cyclone) combination just inside the NPR are resolved. I measure the dark spot to be at approx Lat+62.9 L3 65.6 and the bright spot to be at approx Lat+63.2 L3 73.6 other dark and bright features are also resolved within the NPR.
