NOTES:

Can't shake the sense that it's Chaco rock art around Kepler.  Cue up the flute of R. Carlos Nakai.

Copernicus had some detail in the mounds on and off.  If the seeing doesn't improve, I will have to resort to James Nasmyth's approach (book 1874):  construct a plaster model, light to taste and photograph at leisure.

Seeing mostly 4/10 with rare improvements.
