Comments: Imaged Saturn September 16th the jet stream prediction was not good with a low pressure trough approaching from the West. Surprisingly, once I turned off my Peltier and fans the live feed looked quite good. Have good 685nm IR and R data while G &B were reasonable until the cloud arrived and ended the session. The 2020 HST OPAL data from July 4th & 5th very nicely resolved a quite extensive formation of ripples impinging into the Southern edge of the NNTeB, occasionally I have resolved some of the higher amplitude examples as is the case in these data. I measure one of these ripples at approx Lat+46.4 L3 214.1. Also in these data detail and structure is seen within the EZ. I measure a bright plume at approx Lat+10.4 L1 13.5 such a feature has been visible at this latitude at least since mid June. I also note a compact bright spot on the edge of the ring shadow at approx Lat-4.3 L1 35.4.
