A good gradient, yes.
Detail, we'll the jury's out on that one.
I had a hard time convincing myself I wasn't seeing ashen lights again :oops: I moved the bright cresent out of the field of view to see if I could see the rest of the globe, its amazingly easy to imagine your seeing it!.

Hi Dave,

Nice image, do you use any filters?

Later,

Hi Jed.
i didnt use any filters, even though the glare from the planet was very high.
I just tweak the capture settings for the toucam, its one of the easier planets to image, once you're able to see it.
