Think I got lucky with seeing conditions last Saturday morning around 1am.
If I look hard enough I think I can see that hexagonal polar vortex :laugh:

Super pic Derek. :)

Cant wait to give Saturn a go during the summer with the Imaging Source Camera (its out on loan at the moment), but Ill give it a go with the Canon in the meantime.

Very impressive Derek, particularly considering how low Saturn is this year!

Splendid image!

The use of a red filter is not something I've seen discussed before, do you have a reference for the technique or was it simply experimentation? Thanks for posting all of the details, it's useful to see this comprehensive a description.
