A most interesting comparison Bird, Io, with a diameter of 3642 km is slightly larger than our Moon and to be able to record albedo shading on it at a distance of approx 778,300,000 km is pretty amazing.

It will be interesting if you manage some more nights of excellent seeing while in Exmouth, to see if you can add to this data from Aug 18th.
