Looking up at the full moon as seen in Image] - taken with a hand-held compact camera, I was surprised how well this turned out. The prominent crater about 4/5th the way down with rays emanating from it is called Tycho, named after the famous C16th Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe (14th Dec 1546 – 24th Oct 1601) To identify some of the other major features, have a look at this website https://cseligman.com/text/moons/moonmap.htm
