Looks like Aristoteles to me.

Nice images Robert and Mike - considering the seeing!

I was out there too. Seeing was very ordinary here, but after drift aligning (to get my scope set up close to where it needs to be again) I only managed a quick look at Joops and then the moon before the clouds rolled over.

Despite the bad seeing, which seemed to me to be very jumpy, I was really impressed with how sharp the moon appeared in my scope! (even if it did seem like a bowl of jelly with a nervous tic!) I thought the seeing might have been just due to low level wind, but checking the jetstream when I got home it was around 30m/s as well.
