(IAU Directions) SHORT.--A fine but foreshortened ring-plain of oblong shape, squeezed in between Moretus and Newton. It is about 30 miles in diameter, and on the S.W., where its border and that of Newton are in common, it rises nearly 17,000 feet above the interior, which includes, according to Neison, a small central hill. Schmidt shows a crater on the N. side of the floor.

Anyway, the observing eyes of lots of professional and amateur astronomers were glued to the eyepieces of their telescopes. Perhaps a bit too much glued, because most of them didn't observe the supposed "natural" satellite (called "Neith"), but... rather the unexpected ghost image of the bright Venus itself, reflected between the lenses of the telescope's eyepiece!
