Scientific paper

Since 1980, only spacecraft or space telescope have been able to image spokes (intermittently appearing radial or elongated dark markings in Saturn's B-ring) around the planet equinoxes. Amateur astronomers' observations from Earth have been increasing in quality and coverage since a few years, leading around the 2009 equinox to the first ground observations, with a good coverage of Saturn's rings. Combining these with amateur observations of white spots associated to storms (cf. [1]) can give some hints if the two kinds of events are related.
