About this image

An image snatched in the brief gap between high cirrus clearing to allow me to locate Mercury and the arrival of fast-moving low cloud. There was only time to record eight videos, but fortunately the conditions were steady enough that there was a usable number of good-quality frames to stack. The result shows various bright and dark regions that are a good match to the blurred WinJupos image.
