A nicely illuminated Clavius

Last night was an unexpected bonus - with a couple hours of clearish sky before the clouds rolled in. Conditions very challenging but I really enjoyed the views of Clavius through the eyepieces - just a really lovely illumination that highlit so many features. I let my 7yr old son drive the rig for a bit and he diligently "checked all of the holes for aliens".

I captured a quick video just as the sky closed for the night, and even though the atmosphere was very turbulent, I was impressed by some of the detail. Hope you enjoy the view as well!
