Lunar Shots from July 25

Here are some images I captured on July 25.

All images were captured with the ToUcam and K3ccdtools through my C8, 2.5x Powermate and UV/IR filter. All were processed in registax 4 with light wavelets. Mosaics were assembled in PS CS3. Borders, text and save for the web in PS CS3.

Some of the images show loss of detail in the highlights. I don't believe this is due to overexposure - I keep the exposure meter in K3 in the range 180 - 220 max. I watched this develop during the session (and have observed it in the past). The first few images (e.g. Bullialdus) don't show the same problem. It's as though the scope is fogging up from dew or frost, but I couldn't see any evidence on the corrector plate or mirrors.... Any ideas?
