Comments: Imaged Saturn April 2nd in good seeing, have good 742nm IR and RGB data. The Sun was very near the horizon when capturing the RGB data. Normally I would go with 4 x 90s R, 4 x 90s G and 4 x 90s B, after capturing the 4 lots of R data I was worried about just how close the Sun was to coming over the horizon so only went with 2 x 90s G and 2 x 90s B but it was all good data and the RGB image came up rather well.
I have 2 x 742nm IR data sets centered approx 20 minutes apart, initially nothing really jumped out at me but when I animated them a rather interesting low contrast bright spot was revealed at approx Lat-55.3 L3 128.5.
