Comments: Am attempting to survey the EZ to establish just how wide spread the activity within it really is, to that end the morning of June 26th I covered 2 hours 55 minutes of Saturn rotation. The seeing during the first hour was variable but settled to be quite reasonable to good for the rest of the session. There is considerable activity but it is low contrast, there are a linear series of bright spots near the border of the EZ with the NEB and a linear series of bright spots nearer the ring shadow which are best seen in IR. The linear series of bright spots near the border of the EZ and NEB are seen in both the IR and RGB polar maps. A ripple on the edge of the EZ impinging up into the NEB is well resolved in all data at approx Lat+15.2 L1 84.2 while the IR data also resolves a bright spot in the NEB at approx Lat+19.5 L3 155.7 The CH4 data again resolves a thin bright series of spots in the EZ.
