Stanislas Maksymowicz
Here is a report performed with the CC154mm under average images on best¬moments and operated under a transparent sky.
A sign of cloud 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 R,B,WF,not full dark side as shown and with polar filter exhibiting almost the full dark side,¬ with 57x magnification,planet heigth¬54‹,also with¬ a faint light yellowish blue tint well noted just near the terminator. Cusp extension was not evaluated.
Some dark markings on the AL light was there (as drawn carefully,the same for each filter in use).
The light intensity on dark side was degrading from¬terminator¬towards the dark side limb,partial extension,using polar filter and R/B filters partial extention,¬ but the intensity not reaching a L1 (3 the highest) . Turning the polar filter by 90‹ extincted¬the light level to an insignificant¬level as already reported on 15th,16th and 17th,the variation of light remained¬subtil but noted.
AL light intensity is not growing since days,reaching L1 level on the 23rd april,the maximum observed,here as intense than the 14 and 15th may,the polar filter giving the more discriminatable¬light on the dark side when.
