Dear Christopher, you are a known master of planetary imaging. But these images of Saturn just knock my socks off! The white spots in the north polar region are so vivid. In the b&w version, I think I can discern the polar hexagonal -- which, correct me if Im wrong, we didnt even know about till Cassini. Astonishing, and inspiring. I spent much of my early career in the Philippines. I have never been to Cebu. The air must be magical, which is to take nothing away from you. thanks for posting these great pics -- I always look forward to them.
