Hi Paul,

Very interesting to compare you drawing with my image posted alongside and timed just 8mins later. I admire you skill in recording the detail.

Thanks Martin! If I may say, your image is particularly splendid and I was so pleased to see you have the bright clouds over Chryse/Xanthe and i wasn’t imagining them!
