 Here
            is another set of lunar images, taken with the new 10".
            The close ups are with the 5x Televue powermate and a Orion IR
            pass filter. Even so, the seeing was not nearly as good as the
            last posting, but I was still able to get some detailed images.
South is up in this image, more info below.
