Comments: I had remarkably good seeing again this morning, and made 5 x RGB captures of 4 mins per colour channel. The view is almost identical to yesterday’s, in fact the CM only varies by a couple of degrees, but the seeing was much better today. There is an amazing herringbone bank of dust clouds right across the region. It is virtually identical to what appeared in yesterday’s image although it was harder to recognise due to the poorer image quality. I can see the clouds have morphed somewhat, although it seems they did not move much over the 24 hours.
