This detailed color image centers on the beautiful crater Plato just beneath Mare Imbrium (the Sea of Showers). Up and right from Plato is the short Montes Recti range. In the upper left the two distinctive craters are Kepler and Copernicus. Copernicus is the bigger one.

Which way is up? Most of my lunar images are framed using the same orientation they were captured, which is fairly arbitrary when considering the camera can be rotated. This image features a large section of the lunar surface dominated by the crater named Plato.

The best images I captured in 2023
Hold on to your hats! We're going for a ride. 2023 was a breakout year for my astrophotography as I had my first access to dark sites, refined my Milky Way technique, got closer to the moon and started working with planets, processed my first comet, made my first solar filter to take solar shots, and a lot of new and improved targets with the addition of narrowband filters.
