Stanislas Maksymowicz
Here is a report performed with the CC154mm under good images on best moments and operated between clouds.
A banding pattern was collected with some difficulty,boths cap not conspiscious clear,
caps being probably faded by the planet tilt axis and more by planet phase,no bright spot.
AL was more than suspected with the YG,R and no filters with 123x magnification,planet heigth 38°,
also with  a faint light yellowish blue tint well noted,the extension was not full dark side.
Cusp extension was there as shown. No time for inserting stronger magnifications,
sky was occulted after 18H35UT. Dark markings on the AL light was there (as drawn carefully).
The light intensity on dark side was degrading from terminator to the dark side limb,but not full extension,
quoted almost L1 (3 the highest).
It would be usefull for practicing 300x for the cusp extensions,but as written no enough time.
