NOTES:

Seeing was even worse than last night, with the edge of the Moon shimmering in the camera viewfinder.  Divots on the bright limb are pretty much seeing induced. We are catching Mare Nectaris split by the terminator.  The light on the Appenines is starting to pop, too bad it will likely be cloudy tomorrow.
