Here's another from 23rd April, the libration was good for the north. It's about time I got a decent shot of the North Pole, the south usually gets all the attention!

Very sharp! Why the blue filter --- why not a red filter?

I was wondering if the Pole was visible, after checking with http://the-moon.wikispaces.com/North+Pole I think it's here -
