I made an observation of the walled plain Janssen (41.5*E, 44.9*S, 115 miles x 115 miles) on November 30, 2004 between 05:00 and 06:30 U.T. I noted a good amount of detail but was clouded out before completing my observation. I would have liked to finish this interesting observation. The largest crater over the northern section is Fabricius (42.0*E, 42.9*S, 48 miles diameter (78 km)) with Metius (54.2*E, 40.3*S, 55 miles diameter (88 km)) northeast of Fabricius. Rimae Janssen (87 miles (140 km) in length) is prominently noted over the floor of the plain. The smaller craters within the plain, south of Fabricius, are K and L. The crater J is noted over the western section of the plain. Lockyer (36.7*E, 46.2*S, 21 miles (34 km) diameter) is noted over the southwestern section of the plain. I welcome any comments on my my observation.
The best of luck in your own imaging and observations of the Moon and planets.
