About this image

This GIF animation just 28 minutes apart clearly picks out several spokes in the left hand side of the rings as well as two obvious ovals moving left to right in the lower half of Saturn. There are other less obvious feature also moving between the images. Captured in between bouts of clouds in reasonable seeing despite that.
