Ptolemaeus

"Circular formation forming a remarkable trio with Alphonsus and Arzachel. Few steep slopes riddled by many craterlets and supporting a chain of craterlets to the North-East.High walls.
Very large flat floor containing Ammonius and several ghost craters. Craterlets depressions and hills."

I've been wanting to photograph the moon all week before it reached first quarter but as you know the weather has taken quite a bleak turn. After a few frustrating evenings it put on quite a good performance early on. For the first time I spotted a star fairly close but didn't have a enough time to figure how to expose for both objects. Still quite pleased with this image.
