Dean, Thanks for the heads up. I set up the scope on the deck and saw Mare Orientale (Eastern Sea) which I believe was found and named by Patrick Moore. I then took a shot at Rupes Recta and found that around Purbach and also looked at Rima Birt between craters Birt E and Birt F. Will Rupes Recta look better tomorrow night when the terminator is closer to it? I wasn't able to see the shadow.
Saw Plato, rays of Kepler and Copernicus and Sinus Iridum – where did the other half of it go? Whispy clouds now covering the moon. SB
