A striking image Dave!, it confirms what we saw through the scope last night, a nice big white polar cap !

Wow Dave. That's excellent - buckets of detail in there.
What kind of camera did you use?

That's a fantastic image Dave and you captured some wonderful details.

Congrats.

That's a very impressive image Dave! Great detail, especially considering it's small angular size.
