Nice photo.

I was just reading about the 1,000 cm telescope in Plato crater in Arthur Clarke's (was he was then) book 'Earthlight'. They reached the Observatory under it it on the Monorail built across Mare Ibrium from Sinus Medii. One day maybe.

Absolutely stunning image. Using Iris software I can make 7 craterlets and a possible

eighth one. The "sector" region is also showing up. Very well done.
