Dear all Mercury observers-
Here are the images with a dark albedo feature in the north which is Solitudo Aphrodites. The seeing varied during the observing run.
So, some of the albedo features may look a little different.
But, they are all in the same spot. One image on the right was taken perhaps at the perfect seeing condition.
I tried the shortest exposure as possible with 1/100th of a second. This is close to a raw image! The details are clearly seen after one sharpen procedure.
