[DarkerSky]

Sketched in my 16" yesterday evening.

Got a fantastic view, although the seeing was a bit hit and miss. NEB was looking really good with the dark barge in it. Could make out a scooped area of lighter material again close to it. SEB had a darker southern component. Also saw some lovely detail in the NTB and NNTB. The NNTB especially had a small dark spot on it.

STB was fairly broad in comparison to its northern cousins, and sported a bulkier bit to the following side of the CM.

EZ had some markings in it too, more notably near the preceeding limb.

That's great Paul. I think its position is around 50 degrees System II longitude. It was very small and seemed to be associated with more general disturbance of the NNTB, particularly to the following side.
