I was able to make 2 videos only,
then clouds came in and Sun started to flood telescope tube degradating seeing at once.
Processing was careful,in order not to modify the phase of the planet (51%)
which has not been pasted on black backgroud (hence the bright rings around the limb).
Im quite confident to have recorded several real albedo patches,e.g. Walters indicated by the line.
The image is only roughly oriented because of the lack of satellites and no time to record a drifting video.
