The images were pretty good with 435x. I was at the issue of the period more disturrbed by the moisture deposition on front glass than with seeing (but it failed significantly also). At the evidence the equatorial zone is well lighted and confirmed with the banding structure well evident too. What was surprising me was the polar cap clearer bordered by a thin lighted zone as shown. Albedo variations are reported into bands but the gain of the W8 filter was faded by the borning moisture deposition. I stopped after. Nevertheless here are these 2 sketch that surprised me by the observation quality: this means the contrast stronger than say 2 month ago now. The period is interresting to follow.[Stanislas Maksymowicz Ecquevilly,France]
