A close up of the almost full waning moon, the crater filled Eastern edge is showing off as the terminator begins its stampede to the West. An almost full moon with the Eastern edge showing off shadowed craters... the darker mares/seas are crisply set apart from the bright highlands. At the bottom of the moon in the westerb edge of the highlands Tyco Crater shows off the long ejecta scars spidering up the face of the moon. With more black sky background showing the moon appears lonely without a single star in view. This is due to camera exposures. If I turned up exposure time, the stars would show but the definition of the moon would be a white-out effect. A lunar map of the Eastern Edge craters as the terminator slides slowly to the West. The image is clear enough to see not only Petavius Crater but also the long central rimae patavius which looks like a minute hand counting off 40 min and Petavius A (a small crater who would look awesome with a fat Ruby or diamond just below the central minute hand arm.

My apologies for the less than crispy views but last night my equipment was shutting down constantly due to the cold temps!

0⁰F but felt like -4⁰F windchill. 🥶

Last night's moon view with Apollo Maps and Seas Notated. Not feeling great so I grabbed a few shots and went to bed before checking illumination. Sorry, no percentage this time.

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.

Enjoy a view of our moon from tonight. Look at how blue Tranquility Sea is... this is due to the higher metal content in the lava basin.

Nearly half full the Moon is waxing at 31.3% Illumination. The Southern Highlands show the multiple craters which seem to layer on top if each other while the barbell craters of Catharina and Cyrillus show off near the center with Theophilus above it. These are located below the Sea of Tranquility. Look at how blue Tranquility Sea is... this is due to the higher metal content in this particular lava basin compared to the others. You can even see where it spilled over a little bit into the Sea of Serenity along the edge.
