sinus iridium , showing crater Plato . under this illumination I think it is one of the most beautiful features on the moon.

This was my young nephew's scope and I wanted to show him what could be achieved with just a small telescope.

Tonight we were blessed with two hours of very good seeing conditions during my "prime time", so I was able to set up the larger telescope for some imaging of lunar details.
This is a close-up of Promontorium Laplace, the northern of the two "capes" that define the entrance to Sinus Iridum (the "Bay of Rainbows" from Mare Imbrium (the "Sea of Rains"). Here the tall cliffs of the Jura Mountains rise high above the lava plains to catch morning light. Notice the long sharp shadows cast by the 2600 meter high peak of the promontorium.
The main mass of the Jura Mountains extend across the frame just above center. These mountains are part of several mountain ranges that form the outer ring ridges that encircle the Moon's huge Imbrium Basin. The interior of the basin is filled with vast lava plains; a relatively small part of these plains fills the lower half of the photo. The plains appear smooth from our Earthly vantage, but this close-up shows the plains to be dotted by craters of all sizes. The pair of larger craters near the bottom center are Helicon (left - 25 km wide) and Le Verrier (right - 20 km wide). Le Verrier is surrounded by rougher-appearing terrain, probably ejecta from the crater itself. The smooth plains are also marked with long wavelike features, known as dorsae or wrinkle ridges. These low ridges show most impressively when illuminated by grazing sunlight.
Some isolated peaks rise above the lava plains of Mare Imbrium just interior to the ridges of the Jura Mountains. There are the long linear ridge of the Montes Recti and a cluster of isolated peaks known as the Montes Teneriffe. These mountains, together with others outside the frame of this photo are the remnants of an inner ring around the Imbrium Basin. Lower peaks of this ring were buried under the rising lava of Mare Imbrium.
Above the Jura Mountains another elongated stretch of lava plains spans the photo. This is Mare Frigoris (the "Sea of Cold"), the northernmost of the Moons great maria. It has many features similar to those of Mare Imbrium: a peppering of small craters, isolated peaks, and wrinkle ridges. Unlike most of the Moon's great maria, which were created by colossal asteroid impacts and subsequent upwelling lava, Mare Frigoris seems to have been created by a gigantic fissuring event that split the Moon's crust and allowed enormous curtain-like lava fountains to erupt across the moon's surface for thousands of kilometers. Similar eruptions on Earth are building Iceland, the volcano chains of Africa's Great Rift, and the mid-ocean ridges.
Above Mare Frigoris are the Moon's northern highlands, a jumble of craters of all ages, piled one on top of another.

The Kvarner Gulf (Croatian: Kvarnerski zaljev, Italian: Golfo del Quarnaro or Carnaro, Latin: Sinus Flanaticus or Liburnicus sinus), sometimes also Kvarner Bay, is a bay in the northern Adriatic Sea, located between the Istrian peninsula and the northern Croatian Littoral mainland. The bay is a part of Croatia's internal waters.
The largest islands within the Kvarner are Cres, Krk, Pag, Rab and Lošinj.

I took this photo on the return flight with the drone. It was pure chance that I saw this beautiful detail. I live in Switzerland and spring is just beginning. You can see the green fir trees and the deciduous trees that still have no leaves.

Mare Imbrium is the flatter, darker terrain that dominates the bottom two thirds of this image. Inside of the northern shoreline are, from left to right, Montes Recti, Montes Teneriffe, Mons Pico and and Mons Piton rise out of the surface. Just north of there a crescent of lunar highland arch from one side of the image to the other. The most prominent features is this region, from left to right, are Sinus Iridum, (Bay of Rainbows), Crater Plato, and Vallis Alpes bisects the Montes Alpes. The western end of Mare Frigoris arches across the upper edge of the image. (Rükl 2-4, and 10-12)

Feeling crappy with allergies or a sinus infection, or some such misery, so I blew off the road trip I had planned for this months full moon. But I did manage to drag my ass out for a night at Big M. I can't stay away from this place. There's always a farm-fresh barn find, or some old treasure uncovered as cars move around . . . like this ragged 1960 Plymouth Fury, looking ready to roar down some haunted highway, a direct descendant of the mythic Furies, out for blood and vengeance. Loving the enhanced aggression in the splayed distortion that comes from pressing the frame's corners. Almost total darkness with Protomachines flashlight in 1:54.
On either end of the Sinus Iridum (Bay of Rainbows) are two capes, or points, called Promontorium Laplace and Promontorium Heraclides that were right near the sun-shadow line on the moon. This area has also been called the “jeweled scimitar” because of its resemblance to the scimitar sword (or sabre).

Lunar south is uppermost. Reasonably good seeing.
The Jewelled Handle clair obcsur effect of the Montes Jura catching the rising sunlight never fails to impress.
The Promontorium Heraclides on the south western edge of the Sinus Iridum also provides another clair obscur effect known as The Moon Maiden.
Best viewed using the expansion arrows.

Got a terrible sinus infection, ugh, which is why there was no post yesterday. Managed to pull myself out of bed to hit up FLF and Uber though. I need to go back to get more, but that’ll have to wait till I get a little better. <3

Taken on 25th February while the Moon was 77% illuminated Waxing Gibbous. Taken with a 10" Dobsonian Telescope with 2x Barlow and Canon 1100D. Shot using Backyard EOS, at 5x magnification. By the time I had set everything up for shooting some up-close lunar stuff, the cloud started rolling in, so this was shot through thin cloud.
4000 frame video shot, the best 1000 frames were stacked using Autostakkert! 3 Beta. Wavelets sharpened in Registax 6 and final tweaks made in Fast Stone Image Viewer. The edges were cropped slightly to remove stacking artifacts. I really love the sharp shadow created by Cape Laplace on the edge of Sinus Iridum
