Lovely 1/3rd of a waxing crescent moon, so much texture in the lower third.

Detail of the top of the waxing crescent moon as seen from the northern hemisphere.

Detail of the bottom of the waxing crescent moon as seen from the northern hemisphere. Lovely textures near the shadow line, not just the usual craters but some wrinkles appear.

I take you on a written tour close up mapping the views but I do not mark up the pics so you can enjoy the shots unblemished.

Almost dead center is Tycho crater with the ejecta lines going out in all directions from the 53 mile diameter crater. Below it and a bit to the left is the famous crater Clavius with the smaller craters inside which form a half circle getting smaller in diameter as you go up and to the left.

At the very bottom is the large crater Theophilus with the high peaks in the center. Going straight up within the deeper blue/gray sea of Tranquility there is a rocky edge of the highlands which are jutting upwards. See that area which looks like a mouth coming up to eat a tiny crater just above it... that tiny crater is 2.9 niles diameter and is Moltke Crater. Just above it you can just make out the very small edge catching light which is Armstrong Crater... named of course for Neil. Between Moltke and Armstrong and a bit to the left is where Apollo 11 landed.

That large crater low and to the right of center is Posidonius Crater located along the edge of Serenity Sea. The two large craters up above and to the left is Aristoteles (top) and Eudoxus (bottom) that small deep crater to the right is Bürg Crater and to the right lay Hercules.

The Apennines Mtns range stretches from lower mid left to center. Above it the two sea merge Rains/Showers to the left and Serenity to the right. Above the gap is the Caucusus Mtns. Above and to the left is the large flat crater floor of Plato with the line of Alpine Valley below and to the right.
