Hi Luigi,

Is this a confirmed spot - have others imaged it?

Hi Martin,

i have only these images. I have programmed other observation sessions, but the conditions was not so good.

Comparing my thoughts with Ricardo Hueso Alonso, he confirms me that this polar brightening is a real feature and it has observed also in the last few years.

In any case could be interesting to observe it with new images.

Do you have performed some observations?

Thanks
