Since this most obvious storm, there have been observations also of more complex and multicore storm systems there. This one seems to be the most persistent and also most obvious of them all, even though this is not an easy target at all. So congrats for catching this so clearly! Those other storm systems are harder to spot and on a different location on the beltsystem, and pics of them can be found on other threads, for instance here: http://www.cloudynights.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/2398077/page/0/view/collapsed/sb/5/o/all/fpart/1 and here: http://www.cloudynights.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/2379430/page/2/view/collapsed/sb/5/o/all/fpart/1 This pic of yours is well balanced and clear, and the ring system presents excellent sharpness and presence despite the low tilt. Thanks for sharing this with us!
