Alpine shadows and the Apollo 15 landing site

Hi all,

Here are a couple of shots taken from the 26th March. The first is of
some dramatic alpine shadows together with the Vallis Alpes...

The second is of the Hadley Rille region on the Moon, which is where
Apollo 15 landed...

Digging around, I came up with an interesting shot of the site taken
from lunar orbit during the Apollo 15 mission. The orientation and
lighting are not too dissimilar.

Seeing was very variable for the March 26th session, ranging from a
good 8/10 down to a poor 4-5/10. Lots of the poor stuff and only short
glimpses of the good stuff unfortunately.
