Title

These images are all from the same session but are different revisions with varying focus. The main idea was to reveal the core details (spirals and possible eruptions). I've also included one image put together from four observations made during last week to highlight the changes in the core's rotation and cryovolcanic activity from start to finish. I have processed four different sessions to get the same kind of view of the core, although these had the best seeing and thus the most details.
