Comments: Imaged Saturn April 1st in goodish seeing, have well resolved a bright storm just inside the NPR at approx Lat+62.5 L3 332.8 with these data tracking it over 52 minutes of Saturn rotation. If this is the same bright spot which was on the F limb in my data from March 31st then its L3 drift is –9.2 degrees / Earth day. I also note a ripple on the edge of the EZ impinging up into the NEB at approx Lat+14.5 L1 248.2 Have included an inset in all data sets that has been more heavily processed to highlight the NPR storm many other subtle features are also to be seen, that said, with careful examination everything resolved in the insets is visible in the original data. Note; the placement of the insets relative to each original data set is identical so any two data sets can be blinked.
