That's a beauty for average seeing Paul! You must love working with the Mewlon.

Clear skies,

Very nice Paul! Beautiful job. Looking at your image, Rolandos and my own I note a curvilinear feature beneath the main dark albedo feature (Mare Sirenum) going E to W and paralleling M. Sirenum, not on the maps. It is on your final image (on left).
A canal built recently...? :^)
