So very cool, thank you for sharing.  I am enjoying all these astronomy photos
from everyone.

Things to look for:

  *   Crater Copernicus
  *   Crater Plato
  *   Lunar Apennines (mountain range stretches over 900km across the lunar
surface)
  *   Vallis Alpes (Cutting through the lunar Alps, the 130km-long Vallis Alpes
is one of the most interesting features on the Moon’s surface)
  *   Rupes Recta (best known as the Straight Wall, this 110km-long fault
reaches over 270m above the lunar surface. Look for a thin black line near to
crater Birt)
  *   Mare Crisium (620x570km lunar sea is one of the most distinctive features
on the Moon, located close to the eastern limb)
  *   Craters Ptolemaeus, Alphonsus and Arzachel (these three imposing craters
sit close to the centre of the Moon’s near side. The largest of them,
Ptolemaeus, has a smooth floor that is pockmarked with lots more tiny craters)
