Saturn ring spoke animation

About this image

I've combined five images in a GIF, two in colour and three mono IR as it shows the progression of a darker than usual ring spoke on the left hand side. Unfortunately as I'm still relying on the kindly loaned 12inch scope it doesn't have the resolving power to do full justice to the ring spokes. The image also shows (mainly) Tethys approaching and the last IR image has picked out the white oval in Saturn's southern hemisphere
