At the borderline of our imaging capacity, Puck is a shapeless rocky moonlet circling Uranus very close at a distance of 86.010 km.
Its diameter, of only 162 km and distance, approximately 3 billion kilometers from the sun, makes it a challenging target for astrophotography.
Nevertheless SST inched up on it and resolved some surface features that the space probe failed to spot. The bright stuff on the left side and a huge crater on the upper right side.
