Here is an image from March 1st in rather good seeing for the altitude which was never more than 45o. I will send an animation in due course as several bright and dark spots are well seen across the Planet,esp the equatorial zone bright spots which i could see on the live capture.




Here is the final revised colour image from this night. I re-balanced the RGB component more accurately which gave a much more pleasing result with more accurate colour.

Fair seeing. Nothing new to report here, apart from the general blueness of the planet.
