I got out last night for a while. One of my interested but not quite committed friends joined me. I looked at the Trapezium, and the Double Cluster, which was a bit washed out by the moonlight. We did look at a few craters though, and I'm slowly beginning to get some lunar orientation. We observed Herschel, Ptolemaeus and Alphonsus craters, and found a few others, but they were too far from the terminator to be seen very well.
