Description
Seeing slightly improved compared to the previous photo. These are probably some of the best conditions the C8 has seen in a long time!
Notes:
- The core of the north polar hexagon is visible. The shape of the hexagon also might be resolved with close inspection.
- The storm in the north polar region is setting. A string of bright spots appear to be trailing it
