Three medium-sized targets visible using binoculars, and clearly visible in my 6.8 day quarter moon
Observer Comments
| Target Description | Here are marked three crater targets which can be viewed using binoculars. While they were in darkness in my 3.8 day capture, here, three days later, they show up very clearly. |
| Image Capture Description | This was an unexpected break... the weather forecast was for clouds, and earlier in the evening it had been clouded over. But as I was turning off the lights to go to bed, I discovered it was clear. So, out came the Seastar, and I was able to capture it almost precisely at Quarter Moon. |
