Arzachel, Alphonsus, and Ptolemaeus - Two Views

On June 16, 1998, the trio was on the terminator. They caught my eye on this 22 day old moon. July 1, 1998, the 8 day old waning moon made Ying and Yang moon shadows near the first quarter. All observations: Telescope: 6 inch F/5.2 reflector using a 6mm Vixen Lanthanum eyepiece for 133X. (Rukl 44 and 55)
