SATURN
Observers at Pic du Midi have reported via the Central Bureau on
Aug. 14 (J. M.Gomez, J. Caquel, P. Laques) and at the U.S. Naval
Observatory's Black Birch station on Aug. 20 (T. E. Love,
I. Jordan) of what is apparently a single low-contrast white spot,
perhaps 12 deg long, near the south limb of Saturn. The Pic du Midi
observers report longitude = 305 deg, latitude = -65 deg (system
III), while the New Zealand observers report a central-meridian
transit at about Aug.20.58 UT (corresponding to longitude 277 deg).
