I had a period of reasonable seeing this morning,particularly during the R610LP captures,prompting me to try another RGB.

I did not expect to image today because it rained hard all night last night.  But somehow there was a clearing on the eastern horizon.  Seeing was still very unstable with Saturn at 24deg.
Saturn is still "ringless".  Even in methane band, no ring can be seen despite the ring being many times brighter in methane band that the surface of Saturn.  Rhea is prominent on the methane band image as a bright spot.  The south polar cap is very dark.

The observation date is April 26th (UT) instead of April 27th.
