Comments: Imaged Saturn April 23rd in good seeing, the best from this four day run of favourable conditions. I note a series of small bright ovals spaced across the Southern edge of the NTeB and have marked one at approx Lat+30.6 L3 225.6. Have also marked one of several dark spots on the Southern edge of the NTeB at approx Lat+31.2 L3 262.5 these dark spots seem more prominent where they separate some of the previously mentioned small bright ovals. A series of dark spots are resolved in the EZ with one marked at approx Lat+7.6 L1 207.8. A low contrast thin bright band extends across the centre of the SEB and is visible in IR, R and RGB data.
