NOTES:

Wobbly seeing would not remit this time.   A night for soaking in large scale features like Mare Nectaris.  The first time I traced out the Altai Scarp on a waxing Moon it seems out of place.  It takes the view at its sunset to give the context.  It's part of a tidy bullseye.  Just below is the Janssen-Fabricius-Metius trio.  The Janssen rilles have to wait another month.
