Seeing at the 3 to
5/10. Steady enough for an eyepopping look at the Apennines on the
terminator. Can't do it justice with this image, but you will know where to
aim on the 7 day Moon. I ask guests to find 5 things on the Moon: craters,
plains, mountains, rays, and if they are lucky, rilles. The Hyginus and
Ariadaeus Rilles cut the lower left corner. Cropped from 1/50 sec frame.
Camera and scope as before. Sharpened at the 0.6 pixel and then 8 pixel
scale. Peaks were straight out of Chesley Bonestell's moonscapes.
