Description

Moon - Mare Imbrium, Montes Apenninus, Montes Caucasus, Montes Alpes / Vallis Alpes, Plato, Archimedes and others

I captured this image with eyepiece projection.

This is probably my favorite region of the Moon and I love the light and shadow conditions there within this lunar phase.
There are so many great mountains, craters, maria, valleys, sinuous rilles and much more to marvel at.
I'm happy that even "Rima Hadley" is visible in my image.
"Rima Hadley" is a famous rille close to the Apollo 15 landing site and has just an average width of approximately 0.75 miles (1.21 km):
