Lunar Shots 9-10th Sept

Hi folks-
Conditions have been woeful of late but the jet stream seemed to settle down last night, albeit a rather thick layer of high cloud made things a little tricky...

Here's a few shots that took my fancy:
Theophilus_Cyrillus_Catharina Caters
Aristotle_Eudoxus Craters
Hyginus Rille & Crater

I think my favourite is the Aristotle & Eudoxus Craters - I just loved the impact ejecta strewn to the side...and can almost visualise it happening!

Also interested by the Hyginus crater (shot in very unstable conditions on the 9th), which as I understand, is one of the only craters on the moon that is not caused by an impact, but rather by volcanic activity!

Thanks for looking!
