The waxing Moon is high in the South as I type: opening the window a little, I can jam my 500mm t/p lens securely enough to take a few photos without a tripod! (I'm still wheezing and sneezing, so no sense in going outside, where there wouldn't be any problem with warm air causing distortion!)
The comparatively young ray crater Tycho is beautifully illuminated, while the strangely elongated crater Schiller is nearby. Elsewhere, Copernicus and Plato are both very obvious, while my favourite 'bay',
Sinus Iridium (The Bay of Rainbows) is the semi-circular structure near Plato.
