Notes:

Good illumination to study these domes which have received attention of late
by various Lunar observers. Three domes v. different in appearance. The most Northerly of
the trio being somewhat "classical" in appearance. The larger to the South seeming somewhat
"flattened" with a brighter Eastern "lip". The smallest most Southerly dome being
rather dark with a very marked "caldera" showing internal shadow and a pronounced bright
W. rim. The small crater E of 'F' was quite difficult.
