Nice one Doug! As it happens, I imaged the first quarter moon on the 19th, and have attached a mosaic of 7 images taken with NexImage through my 4.5" reflector. I've upped the levels a bit and annotated it with your observations. Mind you, this was a little earlier than your obs, so you would have had just a touch more illumination on the features.

The seeing was reasonable, and after I'd taken the AVIs I put the Barlow on - just cruised the terminator with the webcam. Ptolemaeus, Alphonsus & Arzachel were fantastic on the laptop, and the Apennine Mountains were superb. Does that count as visual obs?

Cheers -
