Although some of the details of the recovered structure depend on both axes, some key features remain consistent. The exact angular extent of the structures is not stable; nevertheless, the azimuthal and radial positions appear stable and consistent with the average structure highlighted in Fig. 1. Moreover, the separation into distinct emission regions of an elongated feature trailed by a smaller, dimmer, compact bright spot appears consistent across the different recoveries.
