Hi all -
This view stretches about 50 degrees in lunar longitude - from the small crater Horrebow that adjoins Herschel (you can connect the image to Mike's Bay of Rainbows at this point) to Epigenes and Anaxagorus (seen in shadow all the way to the right). The prominent crater with two central mountains is Philolaus. Libration was not favorable this evening for the north pole, but it would be located about 5 degrees to the right.
Made from four frames captured on August 16 through the 10" mak at f30 and DMK21BF04 with green filter. About 300 frames total were used - 80 alignment points - the image is reduced about 20% to keep the file size down.
I hope you enjoy it -
Alan
