Some forgotten lunar shots from a poor session. The seeing was highly variable that night, but it never exceeded a 6-7/10 value. However, some interesting features were imaged, using the 355mm Newtonian and ASI 174MM with a Red filter.

Mare Crisium and surroundings, including crater Messier at far right:
