My apologies for the less than crispy views but last night my equipment was shutting down constantly due to the cold temps!
0⁰F but felt like -4⁰F windchill. 🥶

Tallest Mountain and Lowest Point on the Moon.
In this 3.5 min video I go over the tallest mtns, lowest point and highest elevation on the surface of the moon. Educational short.

Last night's moon view with Apollo Maps and Seas Notated. Not feeling great so I grabbed a few shots and went to bed before checking illumination. Sorry, no percentage this time.

Almost dead center is Tycho crater with the ejecta lines going out in all directions from the 53 mile diameter crater. Below it and a bit to the left is the famous crater Clavius with the smaller craters inside which form a half circle getting smaller in diameter as you go up and to the left.
At the very bottom is the large crater Theophilus with the high peaks in the center. Going straight up within the deeper blue/gray sea of Tranquility there is a rocky edge of the highlands which are jutting upwards. See that area which looks like a mouth coming up to eat a tiny crater just above it... that tiny crater is 2.9 niles diameter and is Moltke Crater. Just above it you can just make out the very small edge catching light which is Armstrong Crater... named of course for Neil. Between Moltke and Armstrong and a bit to the left is where Apollo 11 landed.
That large crater low and to the right of center is Posidonius Crater located along the edge of Serenity Sea. The two large craters up above and to the left is Aristoteles (top) and Eudoxus (bottom) that small deep crater to the right is Bürg Crater and to the right lay Hercules.
The Apennines Mtns range stretches from lower mid left to center. Above it the two sea merge Rains/Showers to the left and Serenity to the right. Above the gap is the Caucusus Mtns. Above and to the left is the large flat crater floor of Plato with the line of Alpine Valley below and to the right.

I take you on a written tour close up mapping the views but I do not mark up the pics so you can enjoy the shots unblemished.

Nearly half full the Moon is waxing at 31.3% Illumination. The Southern Highlands show the multiple craters which seem to layer on top if each other while the barbell craters of Catharina and Cyrillus show off near the center with Theophilus above it. These are located below the Sea of Tranquility. Look at how blue Tranquility Sea is... this is due to the higher metal content in this particular lava basin compared to the others. You can even see where it spilled over a little bit into the Sea of Serenity along the edge.

Enjoy a view of our moon from tonight. Look at how blue Tranquility Sea is... this is due to the higher metal content in the lava basin.

Set against the black of the night sky a perfect crescent view of the 16.3% Waxing Moon shows a ton of detail along the Terminator Line.
This photo maps out 10 craters along the terminator line. The terminator line shows the line of demarcation between daylight and nighttime on the moon's surface. A day on the moon lasts roughly 14 days in comparison to Earths 24 hours. Craters Named: Endymion, Mercurius, Messala, Geminus, Cleomedes, Peirce, Picard, Langrenus, Vendelinus and Petavius.
Another 10 crater are mapped on the Moon. Bernouilli, Burkhardt, Lick, Firmicus, Webb, Lamé, Holden, Snellius, Stevinus and Fraunhofer.
Tonight's beautiful Waxing Crescent Moon at 16.3% Illumination.

Map a-day-in May (a thirty-one cabinet display) Patricia Bridges Inspired by the success of the 1960 “Lunar Photographic Atlas” by the astronomer Gerard Peter Kuiper, the U.S. Air Force set out to produce detailed charts, by collecting the scientific data needed in order to put a man on the moon. They combined earth-based telescope observations with existing photographs, sources including the University of Manchester station sponsored by the ACIC at Pic du Midi, the Stony Ridge Observatory in California, the Kwasan Observatory in Kyoto, and their own motion picture films taken at Lowell, in order to create lucid maps, concluding that lunar features could be artistically drawn and airbrushed with India ink on translucent plastic sheets, following the style of lead illustrator Patricia Bridges. From the David Rumsey Map Collection. The moon was divided into 68 quadrants (although the numbers run from 1 to 144, including the far side), each chart consisting of a topographic map recto and a relief rendition verso. The LAC series remained the most detailed lunar maps at NASA until the photographs were taken on orbital missions. superseded by the results of the later Apollo flights, these historic maps were discarded and many sets destroyed. A milestone of scientific mapmaking and a rare survival." (Antiquariat INLIBRIS, 2021) Note: only 30 of the 44 maps have the relief rendition on the verso. The maps use Mercator and Lambert Conformal Conic projections.

I too had a hard time getting started, this app seems to really be driven by using tags. Start adding tags to all your photos and growth will be quicker. My favs to use, #photography, #astronomy, #astropics, #nature, #moon, #apollo, #moonmaps.
I have gained almost 100 in a week!
