2013/08/04 03:25 UT Meade LXD75 8" f/10 222x+zoom 9x single shot. It's every morning harder to obtain a good image of the planet, especially with the poor conditions of these days on my site, the planet diameter is lessing and elongation too. However here is a picture of the inner planet, made after cleaning lens to obtain the best I could. Colours around the small disk are due to the low altitude, but the phase(55.8%) is still visible. Diameter was 6.7" and mag. -0.5.[ Livio Finocchi,Tagliacozzo - L'Aquila ITALY ]
