Acquisition type: Lucky imaging

This is a small mosaic of two panels spanning across the northern part of the termintor during third quarter Moon. The major feature is probably Mare Imbrium. To the North of it we can see the mountain range of Montes Alpes while to the East there is the mountain range of Montes Apenninus (just like Ligurian Sea in Italy). In the middle of the sea there are some dorsae, craters and isolated mountains (such as Mons Pico and Mons Piton). Principal visible craters and mountains (from North to South):

Bliss and Plato craters
Montes Recti
Montes Teneriffe
Mons Pico
Mont Blanc
Mons Piton
Cassini crater
Aristilus and Autolycus craters
Montes Spitzbergen
Archimedes crater, with its rimae and mountains
Mons Hadley and its Delta
Mons La Hire
Timocharis and Lambert craters
Mons Bradley
Mons Huygens
Mons Ampere
Mons Wolff
Eratosthenes crater
Copernicus crater
Pallas, Murchison and Triesnecker (with its beautiful rimae) craters

Each panel is a stack of best 100 frames on 1000, made with autostakkert3 and processed with Registax and Photoshop. I used Virtual Moon Atlas for the annotation.

Hope you'll enjoy.
Clear sky to everyone!

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
