a couple interesting illuminated objects

As is usually the case, the image doesn't do the view justice again.

On Monday evening the Moon was positioned just above the "main" target of the evening Saturn, but it would have rude to have at least had a look. I noticed several objects glowing away in the "dark" part of the Moon. so I thought I better grab a quick image.

The top one is Mons Pico, the bottom Mons Piton, not about the middle. The top two certainly looked odd at high power, almost like a pair of eyes staring out from the dark.  I don't remember seeing anything similar before,

Saturn was ok, Mars later on was as disappointing as it has been all summer. Lovely mild evening though.
