I'm not positive, but I think I'm picking up a storm on Saturns disk. This shot was from tonight, about 25 minutes ago actually.

TIS DBK21AF04,AS with 2x Barlow. Stack of about 250 of 1200.

Cheers

Hi Bob,

I noted the same white spot last night in the image I took through my 8 inch Dob using a Toucam and 5xPowermate in Toronto, Canada. My image is lacking in detail and has lots of noise. However the spot can be seen if one views the image at some distance from the screen.

I also photographed the white storm 4-17 08 about 11:00pm EDT from Kathleen, GA.
The photo was taken with a TEC 200ED at F-25 with a SKYnyx camera.
