Comments: The very thin bright band just inside the North polar collar is well resolved, particularly in IR & R data. Some very small condensed bright spots can be seen scattered within the band. A large diffuse elongated feature is resolved at approx Lat+46.1 L3 317.1 this is quite elongated in the R channel data but the 685nm IR data resolves the feature more as just a small bright spot. This feature is well seen in both R channel & IR animations. This feature was reported by Chris Go on the same date so good to see it resolved a few hrs earlier, I am significantly further to his east. There is also a very well resolved bright spot at approx Lat+29.4 L3 244.7 with another most interesting bright spot resolved in the Southern hemisphere at approx Lat-3.2 L1 178.7 both of these features are best seen in the R data with the southern EZ feature also resolved in IR.
