online moon map ?

[rory]

is there a moon map that shows how it is night by night .

i ask as im not clued up on the lunar surface ,but i was trying out the 9mm eyepiece with a cheap barlow and come across an interesting feature that resembled a skull !

 its close to the terminator . im wondering if its a well known image/trick of the eye.

dont worry im not a conspiracy theorist who thinks its some kind of message from distant moonlings

i  just found it  brilliant to look at .wanted to try and do a rough sketch ,but my attempt was fruitless and did no justice.

anyway , moon map ?  i wanna find out the crater names that make THE SKUUULL OF DOOM

This is from sky safari, with and without the labels about an hour ago. Not sure where you're looking but I can zoom in more if you need.

Moon Map HD Pro for Android phones is very good for this when you are out.

ok moons gone to bed .  i suppose it wont look the same the following night as the terminator moves to create new shadows .

 i tried to sketch it ,but jeez it did not go well .

Scoot, thanks for the images ? I couldn't quite make out where I was observing.
