Rupes Recta was the anchor target in this field of view.  Captured June 29 at 5:09am ET during the 44% waning crescent.   Rima Birt and it's namesake crater to the west of Rupes Recta, and the outline of the crater rim of Thebit on the eastern side right along the terminator.  A fair amount of wrinkle ridges stand out in the very low angle of illumination.
