Craters The Moon is always a good subject. Here we see an almost first quarter Moon's terminator. It's a classic with the three "big three" - Ptolomaeus (top), Alphonsus and Arzachel (bottom). However the surround area also has many other well formed craters especially Albategnius (to the right of Ptolemaeus) and its smaller companion - Klien - embedded in its crater wall.
