I did some further lunar observing tonight, day 8 moon.

Visited:
Aristillus
Archimedes
Cassini (very interesting object, especially outer slopes)
Autolycus
Eratosthesnes (1/3 illuminated)
Plato (2/5 illuminated)
Rupes Recta (very well illuminated, 110km long, 280m high "wall" like feature)
Birt
Arzachel (nice features within, both peak and further small dark crater)
Alpetragius (dark and deep - no internal detil illuminated)
Lassell
Alphonsus
Ptolemaeus
Herschell

Highlight for the evening? Rupes Recta. Definitely worth a look, and with an interesting geological history.
