From Oct 15th, 2022... first light weekend with my CPC1100. For whatever reason, I had not tried putting these images together till now. So glad I did. Was pretty good seeing and the view is very nice! Lots to see here starting with the dramatic 365km long Serpentine Ridge running down the from the upper right. It is part of the 620km diameter inner ring of the Serenitatis Basin. You can see the wall of Posidonius at the edge of light, top right. The Serpentine Ridge system rolls right down into the Plinius Rilles, then Plinius Crater itself with its the dramatic low lighting showing off its high walls and ejecta. A feature of interest in this view just to the east, seemingly floating in space is the heights of Mons Argaeus, a mountainous massif 65km long. The summit is approximately 2560 meters above the plain of Mare Serenitatis. (wikipedia) Directly south of the Serpentine Ridge is another favourite ridge system known as Lamont - a ring shape with ridges extending out around it. To the west of Lamont you can see Rima Ariadaeus, what looks a bit like a broken, straight road then another favourite of mine, the Amoeba shaped Rima Hyginus. There are many, many more small features here to find with a Moon Atlas!Hope you enjoy.Mike

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.
