Hello astronomy fans. I got out for two and a half hours tonight. Lunar II stuff, mainly.
Rimae Tresnecker's area could be found, but the Sun angle was too high to see it. I did have real good luck nailing crater Thebit, Thebit A and Thebit L. They are near the craters Arzachel and Purbach and going the other direction is the Straight Wall, (Rupes Recta) which was a real standout tonight.
The bright crater Taruntius (56 km., bright rays) and Sinus Concordiae (the Lake of Concord) were also easy targets tonight. The night of Sept. 7th should be a big one for me. I think I can nab a half dozen on that night.
Finished with Jupiter. A nice array of all four Galiliean moons tonight, one to the east and three to the west with some background stars thrown in. I could do all these from my deck which was real handy.
Love this September weather!
