Highlights included Aristarchus with its bright reflective surface, next to it Herodotus and the “U” shaped Schroter’s Valley, another bright ray crater in Kepler, the distinctive ring of Gassendi bordering the Mare Humorum, the huge Schickard and its neighbor Phocylides (both of which lack a central hill or mountain), and the peanut shaped Schiller inwards from the latter two craters.
A magnification of 55x - 67x was used to see all these features in the 2”.
Nice to be back out if only for a short time, after a series of cloudy nights.
