Just realised that seeing as I have 3 captures over the space of about 25 minutes I can do an animation. Just tried it with two of the captures and you can see the rotation of the disc. Those two image files were very different in processing severity though. So what I will do is re-do all three with exactly the same settings in Registax be that wavelets, contrast saturation brightness etc so that the resulting 3 images should look identical bar the changing position of the double storm.

The guy who deals with the amateur astronomers is Georg Fischer
from the University of Iowa, no contact details on him at the moment.
The Cassini imaging team contact details are all on this page
ciclops.org/team/iss_team.php?js=1 perhaps you could find out through one of them.
I like your gif , who knows what you can do Keith when you put a little more time into it all

Hi Keith,
That's a first for the site, an animation of Saturn, you can just about see the 2 storms move, cool !!. The image isn't all that bad, it looks like it was slightly out of focus at capture and is a little blue, and there is no way around that focus issue really, so your image isn't bad at all.
Image quality isn't really the point anyway, the point is that you captured something unusual and that alone is what really counts.
