About this image

This short GIF is two de-rotated images of Saturn approximately 30 minutes apart from each other. I have enhanced the contrast to pick out two white features moving in the southern hemisphere along with a dark feature on the south polar region. Two fainter lighter weather features can be seen in the northern hemisphere on the left hand side as they too move with Saturn's rotation. A good night of seeing although still relying on the kindly loaned 12inch Newtonian for my planetary imaging.
