No wind or clouds. Less humidity than Agawa Bay the night before. Also read about the other observations made this evening in General Session - June 20/21, 2018.
There was a bump that created a shadow. Looked like a high peak on the side of a crater - maybe the crater below Curtius (?). Also identified Palus Putriedinus. The Moon was also situated in Virgo. |
The Moon had changed its location within Virgo compared to the night before.
