Crater crop... HELP

[Karlos]

Hello all,

This was originally a single shot of half the moon. These particular craters were most prominent so decided to crop the image to frame them.

The thing is, I would like to identify some of the craters, but I have taken it though a newt and the image is also on a rotation. So, when I tried to match this to a moon map I was just clueless! () Could someone help me identify one of them so I can work from that?

Karl, the large crater top left, with a line of smaller ones running through it, is Clavius. Not a bad result, is that holding the camera to the eyepiece ?

John thanks for your reply, now I'm going to make myself look stupid I don't see the crater you mean, is there any other way of describing?

As a musician (drummer) I have lots of stands that are used for my cymbals, so I've attached a photo tripod head to one which is fully adjustable, but it is very fiddly. I get reasonable pictures with a timer though

I used this website to help identify the craters I imaged last night:

The Full Moon Atlas : Lunar Navigator : Map of the Moon

Lightbucket, that is incredibly detailed. Thank you very much!
