Saturn IR animation 13th July

About this image

This is a short gif animating two de-rotated stacks in IR just 21 minutes apart (02:37 and 02:48 UT) and yet features can be seen to move between the two images. The easiest ones to spot are some of the thinner lines in the South (image is North up). The bonus of Saturn finally starting to climb in UK skies. Only 30 degrees up for these images but a luxury to be able to detect detail I could only dream about when Saturn was so low in previous years.
