I returned to the Moon to finish off with a go at the Hortensius Domes, and while looking at Copernicus as the starting point, a satellite whizzed through the field of view! Just my second ever across-the-Moon satellite transit. And as much a thrill tonight as the first some 7 years ago.

Oh, and the Hortensius Domes were a easy to spot and so distinct from typical lunar mountains. Lovely cluster of volcanoes that unless you knew what it was you would just dismiss this lot as just mountains and not as shield volcanoes
