I have no idea what features these are as I am only just beginning to look at Lunar maps to try & identify the features I am viewing or photographing. This was actually taken to share with another IIS member to look at quality of optics of my scope but, thought I'd process it into a stacked still because I was pretty happy with the quality of the video.

If anyone can shed some light on what these features are I'd be most grateful.

30 sec video, taken on ZWO ASI224MC through Meade LX90 8" SCT on fork mount.

Converted to AVI in Pipp, Stacked in Autostakkert 2 & then tweaked in Registax 6 for wavelet sharpening...

Virtual Moon (https://sourceforge.net/projects/virtualmoon/) can help..



Or this link. (http://fullmoonatlas.com/sections/f3.shtml)
or this (http://www.visit-the-moon.com/lunar-atlas)...

There are plenty of Moon atlases available on web, just google a bit.

The line 7pm to 1am at lower left is known as "The Straight Wall".
If you Google it you will see an image of that area naming the features.
