Name that crater :>)

Hi,

A few days ago I was going through some old Avi's
and I found a moon image from 04/11/03 that I had not
processed , that night (04/11/03) I took images of Clavius and another crater (the one I just found) using a 4x powermate with a Toucam Pro and my 14.5" scope , I processed the Clavius image the next day .

I just now processed the other crater image and I have
spent over two hours trying to figure out what Moon
crater it is , I want to include it in a web site I am
working on but I hate to just call it a Moon crater :>)

Dose anyone out there know the name of this crater,
any help would be appreciated .

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Looks like Copernicus but it probably isn't!

IT IS TYCHO !
The Best I've Seen........ congratulations !!!!!!!!

Lots of fun perceptual illusions. The difference between sunrise and sunset made it a little bit of work to compare Wes' tycho with the image I posted.

BTW, when I mounted this photo for display, I oriented it with Tycho above Clavius as it would be positioned when the moon is at the meridian. The photographer said it felt upside down - he always displays his lunar landscapes with the receding lunar perspective up - as we would experience the horizon on earth.

Wasn't it Buckminster Fuller who said there was no up and down in space - just in and out?

Must have been taken with film and the negative was inverted.:^)
But yes those look like the same shot.
