The Moon, now 66.9% illuminated, imaged about 9 o'clock this morning.

Thank you! I think the effort of properly collimating the 200P has paid off.

I was out at that time, too and heard the church clock strike 5. The sky was very hazy, but Jupiter was shining nicely next to the Moon and Orion was lovely in the south. I spent about 15 minutes just looking, but didn't feel it was worthwhile dragging a scope out. By 9 it was completely different and I'm glad I did. I hope tomorrow morning works out for you.

I've pushed the contrast a bit more in GIMP by adjusting the curve, here.
