Visual impression Albategnius crater and nearby area were of visual interest without prior planning. This always makes it hard to find out what you photographed after the fact. I wanted to get a nice mosaic together, but it didn't work out that well. I picked the main crater for now.

Comments:	Not a night I'd normally be going out as a slow moving cold front was moving in and brought a great amount of humidity and haze. Seeing forecast was good so I eyeballed the skies near Jupiter and decided to take a stab at it, especially with an attempt at an Io transit too. (Missed that)
