Had time to prepare only the red filtered image from this morning:

The transformation of albedo features was astounding and somewhat eerie at first look through the eyepiece.

Will have time to work on the color images later today I hope.

best,
Alan

Wow, what a difference in the albedo features. Hopefully it doesn't go global by the time my skies clear.
