Association of Lunar and Planetary Observers (ALPO) Saturn Section observers conducted visual and photographic studies of the planet Saturn and its Rings between 1992 APR 06 and 1993 JAN 04, using telescopes ranging in aperture from 8.3-cm. (3.3-in.) to 40.6-cm. (16.0-in.). Some observers submitted evidence of recurring white-spot activity in the Equatorial Zone (EZ) of Saturn during 1992-93. A few individuals made central meridian (CM) transit timings of atmospheric detail on Saturn, but these did not permit derivation of reliable rotation rates. There was a limited number of photoelectric photometric observations of Saturn and its brighter satellites during 1992-93. The inclination of the rings to our line of sight, B, reached a value of +17.642 during 1992-93. The Northern Hemisphere of Saturn's Globe and the north face of the Rings were visible during 1992-93, with the gradually diminishing inclination of the rings to our line of sight affecting appearance of features near Saturn's north and south limbs. Increasingly, regions of the Southern Hemisphere of the planet began to emerge during this apparition. Accompanying this report are references, drawings, photographs, graphs, and tables.
