Hey all,

The Sun came out today (could our summer finally be arriving?) so I dusted off the PST. Nothing on the disc but there were a couple of nice & large, but faint proms.

Here's a shot from about 2PM.



I must try the PST mod again and see if I can get any more detail.

Great shot Trevor. It's always the "Earth to scale" bit that's scary with those shots!

I agree with Paul. The Earth to scale really puts the whole thing into context. Great shot Trevor.

Love that shot, especially the way the surface appears to be bubbling.
