Hi All,

Seeing was very good for a while this morning, again hard to estimate precisely but I'd guess well under 1", maybe 0.5" at the best when the small dark spots seen here were clearly visible in all channels.

The rift in the NEB has grown very complex, and there is also some more complex structures closer to the south pole (bottom) just below one of the intense dark spots.

The GRS continues to be very pale.

cheers, Bird
