Langrenus and Petavius was created by flt158
Just been looking at the 3-day old Moon at magnifications 40X, 112X and 140X. The Earthshine is very distinct. However, Langrenus and Petavius are very prominent on the western side. Rima Petavius is particularly stunning inside the crater, and the 2 central peaks are also quite dramatic inside Langrenus.
And after all that, I star-hopped to blue Neptune about 6 degrees from the Moon. Nice disc at 140X before everything went behind a tree. This is my 1st observed planet of 2014 and by far the most difficult! Thank goodness Sigma Aquarii is close by to make Neptune easy to find.
