Aristarchus and Herodotus
Conditions:
Clear with poor transparency from smoke and fair seeing
Targets Observed:
Aristarchus and Herodotus craters
Notes
Arising just out of the terminator on the moon's west side, these two craters are an interesting contrast. Aristarchus is very bright, a recent collision while Herodotus is darker as is the Mare around both of them (Mare Imbrium).
Moon was reddish thanks to the ecliptic being low and the smoke in the atmosphere from fires in the Chilcotin.
