I tried a little lunar imaging in addition to the Saturn photos. I don't know the moon features yet.... I need to get a good lunar atlas. I just chose an area that was interesting and shot a sequence of frames. Can anyone help me to ID these features? Comments and suggestions are always welcome.
Cheers,
Tyler

PS - I flipped the image over to better match reality (I think)

The large crater is Posidonius and the next largest crater to the right and down a little is Daniell, a very! nice image.

Tyler,

Nice lunar image, Wes id'ed the craters. As far as a lunar atlas, I use one called "Virtual Lunar Atlas". It can be found here:

Best of all, it is free.

Clear skies!
