Comments: Imaged Saturn August 27th in v-good seeing before cloud arrived and cut the session short. Normally I wait until the temperature of my camera stabilizes but the seeing was so good I started capturing data immediacy. Have excellent 685nm IR and RGB data prior to cloud arriving. A 685nm IR data run that I thought would be a throw away due to just how much the signal dropped off due to the cloud actually surprised me and come up amazingly well. The IR data resolves a dark spot in the NNTeZ at approx Lat+64.7 L3 273.9, a bright spot on the Northern edge of the NTB at approx Lat+35.7 L3 237.2 along with a bright spot on the Southern edge of the NTB at approx Lat+30.1 L3 269.5. A large bright spot is also resolved in the NEB at approx Lat+19 L3 290.9. There are several low contrast bright and dark features across the EZ and I have marked a bright spot peeking out from under the ring shadow at approx Lat-4.1 L1 150.7 I also note a v-thin linear feature across the EZ at approx Lat 0.0. In the Southern hemisphere I note an elongated dark feature just below the ring shadow at approx Lat-29.5 L3 291.4 along with a bright spot at approx Lat-50.9 L3 294 The RGB data also very nicely resolves a large bright spot at approx Lat+62.6 L3 289.8
