Folks:
I have uploaded a new image to the files section. It was made
from a video taken at 2:15 am EST under very poor seeing conditions
and moderate wind during a brief clearing of the clouds. North is down
in this image of the north polar regions. Libration was +6 degrees
and the Hermite is visible as the large crater at the bottom limb edge
with Hermite A and Peary to the left along the terminator. Byrd is just
above Peary.

Hoping for better conditions tonight, however high winds and
clouds are predicted for today and tonight.
