 This shot reveals a lot of detail, considering how far away it is from earth. I am still curious what that spot is that appears to have lines running to it, like Longitude lines on a globe....

Hello from the critique club

An appealing image that contributes well to the challenge

You’ve made great use of that huge lens Drake! As your commenters have already stated there is a huge amount of detail, looking at your details a bright night too! The cropping emphasises the crater you refer to well, sorry I can’t help with any additional info my moon mapping knowledge is non-existant.

I love how we can photograph the moon from thousands of miles away and still see this amount of detail!
