Another evening session viewing the Moon; the phase was now approaching half moon. Several craters viewed last night now looked quite different and we spent some time enjoying the moon at 45x magnification reviewing what we had seen the day before.

We could now see the Sea of Tranquillity, the Sea of Nectar and the edge of the Sea of Serenity. Viewed Catherina, Cyrillus and Theophilus noting that Theophilus overlaps Cyrillus and is newer. We also viewed Rupes Altai which was nicely illuminated at this phase.

Took a look at the location of the Apollo 11 landing and scanned the Sea of Tranquillity. We could see as far as Sabine crater which was split in two by the terminator.

We then moved up to look at the ridges separating the Sea of Tranquillity from the Sea of Serenity as well as the ridge running North to South in the Sea of Serenity itself. Viewed Posidonous crater and scanned up through Daniell and the Lake of Sleep, past Grove to Williams Crater (our namesake). Its nice to see your name up there somewhere :)

After this we took a look at Saturn and could make out Titan once again, but it was too light out to see much else.

We found our name on the moon!
