Seeing was excellent today but I had to deal with some clouds.
The rings are getting winder now with a hint of the Cassini Division.  There is a white spot at -43S.


[Christopher Go : Cebu Philippines]

Conditions were average but a number of details were seen:
The globe:
 ・SPR: A dusky regions which seems to have regained some of the bluish colour seen earlier in the apparition.  A darker SPB suspected.
 ・S3TZ: Rather a light zone tonight, not seen it this distinctive before.
 ・SSTB-STB: Both belts seen, a light brown colour.  The regions between still retain a greenish colour.
 ・EZ: A Bright zone, a thin grey EB can be seen.  The ShRG rather pronounced now in the EZ(n).
 ・NEB: A broad with two components observed.
 ・NTB: This seems to be more prominent tonight.
 ・NNTB-N3TB: Two thin bluish belts not particularly easy to see.
 ・NPR: A vague region   which may also have had a bluish tint.
The Rings: Now wider and seem to have a brownish colour to them.  Hints of the Cassini Division seen.
By 1722UT Saturn was getting close to the roof tops and the seeing became very poor so observations were concluded.
