Tom,

Great image, and it's good to see this small and fickle planet getting so much attention!

You have captured some subtle albedo features which I think do correspond to the Winjupos render for the time, if you scale and gaussian blur the winjupos image to about 10 pixels radius.

For all attempting to capture surface detail on Mercury, have a look at the latest Winjupos, it has the messenger map as a surface texture and is supposed to have an accurate ephemeris.
