The moon was nearly full and casting off a lot of glare in the sky, but view was still good at 333x with a moon filter, 20". I panned about the terminator and limb, naturally. Among the detail seen were the Marius Hills, the first time I remember seeing them: a large group of volcanic cones, very rubbly looking with numerous rilles cutting through. I also saw the strange oval bright marking Reiner Gamma, though I did not notice the swirl underneath it. Sirsalis Rille was very impressive and long (it is the longest rille). Plenty of fine features to occupy the eye.
