Saturn and oval storm 6th August

About this image

Two images in infrared 20 minutes apart. The earlier one (top) shows Tethys about to go into Saturn's shadow and Dione about to move out of my field of view. The lower image shows more clearly a faint white oval storm in Saturn's southern hemisphere. It is also just detectable slightly further to the left in the top image.
