Description

In the left of the frame sits Clavius crater--the place where Dr. Floyd visited the monolith that sent Hal, Dave, and Frank off to Jupiter on their odyssey lo these 22 years ago (oh, how I wish that is what had happened in 2001 instead of what actually did happen ). Just above that is Maginus crater. And to the right and below are the southern lunar highlands pock-marked by millions of craters and mountains. I'm still just (re)learning planetary photography and have a long way to go. But I find it very enjoyable and have really gotten into shooting the moon lately.
