David, Excellent. Your image capture of the North Temperate Belt with the swirls in the Northern Equatorial Belt is nicely captured. I like the contrast in the Equatorial Zone and the view of the Southern Equatorial Belt. The capture of the fine details is what I really like here.

Congrats, David. That's an amazing result for a 39 north observing point and up in Damian Peach's league, considering your latitude - Kurt
Noted pioneering digital planetary imager Dr. Donald Parker got fantastic images from his Florida location, through ocean haze and at essentially sea level. He felt that a steady atmosphere would counter any other obstacles, such as altitude, latitude, haze, and the occassional turbulence...with patience.
Even the most noted imagers only show their good stuff. Damian Peach has hundreds of thousands of crap images, have no doubt.
