Hi all

I wish to bring the attention of the group, to a possible new big storm in formation over the NNTZ/NNTB transition area in Saturn.

It has been imaged by several amateur astrophotographers around the world, specially from May 14th.
Some links for images:

It appears at roughly 260° in L2 & extending from 60°N to 67°N approximately at its greatest "displacement." as estimated by Darryl, using WinJupos.

Is there any chances that it appears in the raw data Cassini images recently?
Moreover, do you think it can be imaged at any time in the current mission?
