Ok, its not exactly spectacular, and the detail was borderline visible, but I think its worth posting for no other reason than to say "It's back and worth a look!" But you'll need a thermally stable scope and high powers to get a reasonable, but still small, image scale. The disc is still only around 4.5 arc seconds in diameter.

The attached rough sketch is a prism view, so north is top and preceeding is to the left, therefore the image is mirror reversed.

Amazing Mike as always.

Must give it a try

A fine observation of a difficult target Mike. Expect nothing less ?
