Clavius in the cold, gray light of dawn

The large crater just below center is Clavius, about 136 miles in diameter. On June 16, 2005, about 9:30 p.m. local time, it was early dawn on the Moon, so the entire landscape looks dark gray -- except for the western ramparts of the craters which are catching the Sun's first rays. This is from a 450-frame AVI, processed using multiple alignment points (18) in Registax 3.
