The Alpine Valley at Sunset

Move your mouse over the picture to see the names of some of the features.

And here is the Alpine Valley at sunset.  The valley runs east-west so the Sun shines down the valley as it sets.  At this scale there are not many named features;  it seems not many of the mountains on the Moon have names, unlike the craters. The picture was taken with a ToUcam attached to my LX200 with a X2 adaptor lens on 6th September 2004, when the Moon was 20.8 days old.
