Seeing was tolerable, although it became hopeless towards the end of the session.
A number of dusky features were apparent and these were best seen in the W15 (yellow) filter. Other key points include:
-Bright Limb Band: Hard to discern.
-Terminator: Geometrically regular.
-Cusp Regions: Northern cusp cap seemed to be a lot larger, the southern cusp cap seemed brighter. The Cusp Regions were best seen in the W15.
-Cusp Collars: Only really evident in W15, southern cusp collar dark- not sure the northern one was present.
