 Two of the largest and most often viewed
            crater basins on the lunar southern highlands were in splendid
            lighting under exceptional seeing conditions on this evening.
            So rare was ths seeing in Payson this night, I took as many shots
            as possible, until the good fortune faded in about an hour. Please
            also see the prime focus "wide angle" shot I took just
            before this one here.
