Mare Fecunditatis and it's row of large craters.

This morning Lunar viewing was very good. Quite unlike my normal routine, I never turned the telescope towards Saturn. But, the view of the moon made up for it.

First, I took a few prime focus images to get the entire moon. Then I did eyepiece projection before going solely to visual. 

The terminator was in the perfect position to give the large craters along Mare Fecunditatis amazing details. 

As I watched the shadows grow on the craters, marvelling at how different they were from each other, I watched the rim of a much smaller crater turn into a ring floating in the darkness. Even more shadows put four distinct lines breaking the ring apart.

Seeing such amazing sites on our neighbor can easily turn you into a lunatic!
