MARCH 3RD - MOON 59.7%, 9.13 DAYS

[paulastro]

I had clear skies this evening as the Moon transited the meridian at 6.55 pm, at an altitude of 58 degrees.  Sunlight was catching the E outer walls of Copernicus on the terminator, with Clavius also prominent on the terminator in the S Highlands. The Apennine were also showing very well.  Observing with the SW 120ED, I had some excellent views with the binoviewer.  The best views were at x150 using two 24mm Orthoscopics due to the seeing. 

The single frame below was taken at 6.44 pm with the Olympus E-M5 Mk11, 1/400 sec at 400 asa.  The crops are taken from the same frame.
