Views of the day 11 terminator
The ASI662MC has small 2.9 micron pixels which give excellent resolution, especially in a long scope such as the CC. The 10th Jan was the stablest and most transparent evening we have had for weeks if not months and the Moon was really high at over 65° in altitude. The 12th was less clear but still gave a really good view of the full Moon.
