Saturn on the morning of Friday 2022Sept02. North is up, altitude only 28 degrees above the horizon. I count seven distinct cloud bands north of the rings. I found a good map from The Strolling Astronomer, the Journal of the ALPO, Spring 2007 issue Volume 49 #2, page 39 to help name some of these cloud bands.
There is definite chromatic abberation going on, blue on top, red on bottom.
This was the best 10% of 5700 frames captured using the 20cm Vixen 200L telescope, the Antares x2 barlow and the ZWO ASI 290MC camera.
