A small area of the Moon’s Southern Highlands taken from my telescope in my Manchester, UK, back garden.
The photo shows an area in the south west of the moon, just off the Mare Nubium. Centre left shows the 140km wide, Walther Crater (with its centre peak, and three smaller craters in a line, just above the peak). Bottom left is the larger, Deslandres Crater. Both are ancient impact craters in this rugged area of the lunar surface.

Amazing! I wish I could get decent texture like this in a photo. This is a great sub.
Today I learned the moon surface has names,like we have here on earth for geologic places.Thanks for sharing.
Wow! My brain kept switching between seeing the craters as convex and concave.
