Looking forward to see the data !

I'm attaching a mosaic (reduced in size) of methane images with arrows labeling 
BA, the spot south of the NPR, and also a very interesting irregularity in the 
methane brightness of the S Polar cap. This one has been seen various times, 
and was already there in mid Feb (in the lot of +80% images from this 
apparition I completely lost in my disk crash...). Rotates with the planet and 
you most rectainly noticed it.

Best
