RI: Vieta and Fourier were southwest of Mersenius and were aligned oblongs; Fourier was SE of Vista. I cold make out a central peak in Vieta. Also saw shadows in the shallow craters Fourier G and Fourier F.
C1: Cavendsish and its secondary craters, E, F and A were easily seen to the north of Vieta and Fourier. In the NW, were Henry and Henry Frère.
