The Jura Mountains form the northern part of Bay Sinus Iridum, the remnant of a 260 km wide crater.
The moon was over 60 degrees high, but seeing was just acceptable (high frequency motion).

The third and final image from a session looking closely at the Moon on 29th April, this is a composite of four image sets, each a stack of 900 frames, covering the area of Sinus Iridum.

The sun rising over the spectacular Sinus Iridum with the light catching the tops of the Jura mountains. Note the shadow of the Promontorium Laplace at the centre right.

A lunar close-up showing Sinus Iridum (Latin for "Bay of Rainbows"). It is what remains of a large impact crater, which was subsequently flooded with basaltic lava forming a plain with a diameter of 249 km on the northwestern extension to the Mare Imbrium (the remains of a much larger impact crater). It can be seen in the northern hemisphere of the near side of the Moon. It is surrounded from the northeast to the southwest by the Montes Jura range. The protruding part of the range at the southwest end is named Promontorium Heraclides, while that at the northeast end is called Promontorium Laplace. The crater on the "shore" of the bay is Crater Bianchini (38 km across). Below that is Crater Sharp which is 40 km in diameter. At the bottom left of the image is Crater Mairan (also 40 km in diameter). This bay and the surrounding mountains is considered one of the most beautiful features on the Moon, and is a favorite among lunar observers.

This is a section of a mosaic of the northern, Earth-facing region of the moon. Visible in this picture are Mare Frigoris, Sinus Roris, and Sinus Iridum. The crater Plato is prominent in the center of the image.
All images were taken from Long Beach, CA, with a Celestron Edge HD 9.25" telescope at f/10 with a Point Grey Flea3 color CCD camera. The best 200 of 800 frames were stacked in AutoStakkert!2, then processed in GIMP 2.6. The frames were assembled into a mosaic with Microsoft ICE.
A half sagittal and coronal cut of a human head to the sinus area. Not scientifically rigorous, just to study a bit what's behind the eyes.
The Sinus Iridum "Bay of Rainbows" on the moon: 8th May 2006 20:08 UTC. 10mm +2XBarlow on 200mm dobson reflector
This moon is just a few hours before eclipse, which means the earth-facing surface is just about as fully illuminated as it can possibly be. In all my time photographing the moon, I've never managed to capture the full moon until now.
It's hard to say if I have the color balance right. Computer monitors are notoriously poor in their color calibration, so if this seems a bit overly blue to you, it probably is. I've enhanced the contrast and saturation a bit to better show the surface brightness and composition differences. The bluer dark areas are rich in titanium, for example.
I've taken the time to annotate the major features in this photograph. The craters are named after famous scientists and philosophers. The Maria, or the Seas, were once thought to be bodies of water, and were named fancifully. I'm particularly humored by the naming of the eastern Maria.

Sinus trouble started back up again. I can't tell if it's a cold or allergies. Bottom line, I'm having a tough time breathing through my nose, for now. This may be my only deliberate "Three Stooges" reference in my 365.
The next person who belittles me for sinus problems is getting one right up THEIR sinuses. Look at that rabbit warren of passages! No wonder I have issues - if any of those passages is just a bit too narrow, you've got problems.

Luke Elliot was completely alone on stage at Sinus in Stormen Konserthus Saturday 9th of October 2021. Just him, a piano, a guitar and an organ. That's gutsy, I know, because I've performed solo myself, and it's scary as hell. But he owned it, and it was a fabulous gig. And a third album is on the way. Yay! Check out his music, if you haven't heard it yet. I interviewed him after the show.
