Brent:
In fact, the whole Rima feature seemed washed but maybe that was just that my attention was fixated on the mesmerizing Rupes.
That's pretty much the way I saw it too, tonight. The rille wasn't showing all that well, but the wall was very starkly defined.
We've been having fun with a 4.5-inch and a binoviewer; the resultant images are startling -- sharp and bad-seeing resistant (we're in some kind of weak front that's blowing the sky pretty badly, though transparency is okay).
Ak also noticed a very interesting monster berm in Nectaris that was right on the terminator... pretty weird. Does show up in Rukl but I'd never noticed it before. It's probably pretty transitory, lasting only while the light is perfect.
Very good detail in Atlas tonight, and the Rima G. Bond/Romer complex was putting on quite a show.
