Mercury imaged under good conditions, with minimal jet-stream but significant local seeing disturbances from nearby sources on a hot day. A total of 170,000 frames captured, selected in software and by eye, processed in Registax. The albedo features on the final image are a good match with those on a blurred version of one from Messenger data.
