Average seeing as well for this session.
Apart from brighter polar caps,
there should be a shading on the globe but it is difficult to recognize a clear pattern.
Comparison with other images is needed for this task.

Tonight was a chilly one, but it was worth the improved conditions for imaging.
This was a first light for my ZWO EFWmini and Celestron StarPointer Pro.
The EFWmini is surprisingly quiet compared to other electronic filter wheels I have used.
The StarPointer Pro also works great,
but I recommend finding a mounting bracket for red dot finders if you have an SCT and need to remove it after every session.
