Hi all,

Here another lunar mare image out of June. 10th session under mainly fair seeing and average transparency. Sun setting at the time of the recording.

The elusive mare Smythii is normally seen edge-on along the eastern limb, but the favourable libration brought it better in view.
Processing wasn't that easy because of the very low contrasted ground.

More to follow.
Thank you for your attention.

Very nice shot. You have done a good job on the processing.

I don't think I've seen that view before, Paolo. Nice job. Lots of fine detail despite the low contrast lighting.

Great image.
