Move your mouse over the picture to see the names of the various craters.
This is the far north-west area of the Moon imaged at a time of particularly favourable
libration for that area (Latitude 6° 46', Longitude -6° 16'). Identifying the craters in the libration zone is difficult, but the 90° west longitude passes through Brianchon and Cremona. 
The picture is a composite of five images taken with a DMK camera attached to my LX200 on 22nd October 2011
at about 05:00 UT, when the Moon was 24.3 days old.
