Hi . Well I actually do not know  any of the locations on the moon . 

In the pic is a large crater on the edge of the dark side ..  also do the dark patches have names ? 

I need to buy a book !

Nice picture. I think these two should help get you started, hopefully I matched the phase about right. When was the picture taken, I’m guessing on Monday, the phase looks correct at around 9.5 days, I added the 9 day one so you could see a few more crater names near the terminator.

I think the crater you are talking about is Copernicus?

Thanks Stu .. that's great .. ?

Hi Brian,

Like the image, cracker!

Don't bother about buying a book to find out what features you've captured and where they are on the Lunar surface, download the Virtual Moon Atlas, available from several sites, one linked below
