5:17 a.m. Moon age 24d, 3h, 5m. Again had to boost the ISO to 400 to get enough exposure; images grainier than I’d like, but at least things are recognizable. Must explore webcam imaging.
The highlights of the moon at this stage are, from north to south, Philolaus, then la Condamine and Maupertuis, Sinus Iridum, Reinhold and Lansberg, Lubiniezky (the first time we’ve heard from him this entire month, showing what proximity to the terminator can do for an otherwise obscure crater!), Bullialdus, Campanus, Mercator, and Capuanus. The Palus Epidemiarum is right on the terminator, which makes this dark area stand out a little more than it does at other times of the mo-o-nth.
Enjoy!
