Caption: Figure 8.

SPHERE H-band observations of the new planet WISPIT 2c. Both observation epochs clearly recover the planet (marked with the dotted circle). A mask is applied to exclude the majority of the disk signal from the extraction and prevent oversubtraction. Both images utilize a linear color map.
