Description

Petavius crater at 5600mm.

When shooting a crater on the moon, make sure you take notes about the moon phase and location of the crater. Otherwise it is like a jigsaw puzzle trying to match your picture to a crater on a moon map later on. The shadows have to be just right too. I eventually found it!
