Features above the lava plain of the Mare Imbrium from L to R inlclude the Sinus Iridium and large round terraced crater Plato (101km). Pleased to pick up the sinuous Plato rille at 2 oclock to the main crater and the Plato pits (L 83).
The Plato pits are cratelets on the otherwise smooth lava floor of the crater - I can see a triangle of craterlets with 2 close together at one side making 4 in total - these measure 2.44/2.22/2.09/1.98 km diameter.

featuring craters tycho, copernicus and plato bottom,middle and top running up the left side. the semi circle hook at the upper left hanging out in the blackness is a ridge called the montes jura chain created where the sinus iridium "the bay of rainbows" rises from a shallow plain.
“This is the way the moon was seen by observers at the Air Force Missile Test Center at Patrick Air Force Base, Fla. A modified Thor-Able missile is scheduled soon to be fired in attempt to reach it from Cape Canaveral. This view was made with an Igor tracking telescope at the base.”

Taken on a bitterly cold night in December - I won't be doing that again!
Best viewed very large.

Which I believe is the “source” image.

Heute mußte ich unbedingt nochmal den Mond ablichten, denn nur heute ist der Goldene Henkel zu sehen.
Dies ist das in den dunklen Bereich hineinragende und durch das Streiflicht beleuchtete Juragebirge (Montes Jura), das die Regenbogenbucht (Sinus Iridum) begrenzt.

The long curving shape of Montes Jura rises up to 12000 feet on the western edge of Sinus Iridium, from Cape Laplace in the upper-right to Cape Heraclides in the bottom part of this image. An 11-day old Moon yields the nearly ideal lighting to view the "Moon Maiden", when Cape Heraclides is suggestive of a woman's head with hair flowing downward, when looked at from the left. A feature first documented by Cassini in 1679. The image was created by stacking 2500 frames shot at 1/154 sec with an Imaging Source DBK21AU618 planetary camera, a Celestron SC8 telescope and an IR-cut filter.

L'arc majestueux des Monts Jura s'élève à 4000 m de hauteur à la limite occidentale de Sinus Iridium, le Golfe des Iris. Montes Jura s'étend du Promontoire Laplace (en haut à droite) jusqu'au Promontoire Heraclides au bas de l'image. La Lune de 11 jours procure l'illumination presque idéale pour distinguer la Dame de la Lune, où le Promontoire Héraclides et les formations environnantes suggèrent la forme d'une tête de femme avec chevelure au vent, lorsque vu de la gauche. L'effet a été mentionné la première fois par Cassini en 1679. L'image a été créée en additionnant 2500 clichés de 1/154 sec d'exposition réalisés avec une caméra planétaire Imaging Source DBK21AU618, un télescope Célestron SC8 (200 mm), et un filtre IR-cut.

I must thank Astro Steve for pointing out this lovely view. This is Mare Imbrium with Sinus Iridium at top left. The Montes Jura are just coming into sunlight, making the "Golden Handle".
This was captured on 16 August 2013 using a PGI Firefly camera on a Equinox 120ED.
I had some time to spare after lunch today so I spent a bit of time annotating my previous picture of the Moon using maps of the Moon in one of my astronomy books. The picture was annotated in Publisher, printed and then rescanned as a JPG hence the difference in colour balance to the original image. The picture is best viewed at medium 800 x 800 under View all Sizes

shot with a C80ED (80mm Aperture, 600mm focal length) refractor. I also used an Antares 5x Barlow (TC) to get an effective focal length of 3m. This is a 500 of 1800 frames of mono data captured with a QHY5v.
Sinus Iridium. QHY5v @ about 30 fps, 2x barlow, Celestron 80ED (80mm Aperture, 600mm Focal Length f/7.5 ED telescope) with some extension tubes. 250 of 1000 frames, stacked and wavelets with Registax 5.1.
