Nice, Tom.   Especially good view of the Nectaris Basin. 
So much to look at in this image!

Subject: [AZ-Observing] Terminator Mosaic

Here is my first attempt at doing a mosaic of images of the moon.  Since the 
seeing this morning was abysmal, they are taken at prime focus of an 8-inch f/8 
with no Barlow lens.  Image scale is 0.71 arcsec/pixel, resulting in a moon 
that is 2750 pixels tall.  Each of the eight images in the mosaic is a stack of 
the best several hundred frames.  The mosaic is meant to be scrolled, so if 
your browser 'autosizes' images to fit to the screen, turn that feature off.

The most prominent craters along the terminator, from north to south, are 
Posidonius, Theophilus, Piccolomini, and Pitiscus.
