I wanted to further confirm (or mimic) what I was seeing on the Moon from Monday night.
After launching Stellarium, I zoomed in on the Moon. I can see Mare Crisium but the image is soft. No hard edges, deep shadows in craters. Even the terminator is soft. I clicked here and there. Nothing happened. No features identified.
Over in TheSky6, when I zoomed it, I saw labelling and highlighting. But when I tried to laterally invert the field, the Moon remained unchanged! I could see the stars behind changing. Weird. Bisque has not applied the mirror effect to the Moon.
Maybe I'll download the Virtual Moon Atlas...
