Oct 5th Moon pics

A nice high moon on the evening of Oct 5th. Three features stood out so I made some pics of them. All single exposures with a canon 550d camera thru a Meade 10" LX600 scope. Can you recognise:
1. Gassendi and Mare Humorum.
2. Copernicus and Kepler (at bottom).
3. Schiller (elongated) and Tycho (inc. rays).
Thanks for viewing.

Nice shots!

Your image of Tycho / Schiller happens to be almost the same framing and resolution as mine http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...d.php?t=126958 , but yours is shot 1 day earlier. (Mine was taken on the evening of 6 October in Brisbane.)

I love looking at the subtly different details around the terminator in particular - e.g. craters in your shot that have pitch-black basin floors, but with a brightly illuminated far-side rim, but a day later, there's a bit of detail on the crater floor, central peaks are showing up, etc.

I never get tired of this!

(And no, I'm not fishing for compliments about my own efforts here!)
