Description

Six images were stitched together to make this panoramic image of the 48.4% illuminated Moon.

Many nice features are visible including the Lunar X and V. I really liked the pointy shadow of Montes Caucasus, as well as Rimae Ariadaeus and Maurolycos Crater. I also noticed Baussingault Crater for the first time. It is a 128km diameter impact crater that includes another big 75km crater within it.
