Average seeing this evening for the Moon. I went exploring at high magnification and saw these interesting formations. Imaged with a 12" Sky-Watcher Dobsonian and a Canon EOS 600D with 5x Powermate, about 1000 frames in video crop mode.
Looking these up later I could identify:
The crater Gruithuisen at 2/3rds down and 1/3rd across of the image. Mons Gruithuisen Gamma, a volcanic dome with a 900m crater visible at its summit (centre top of image) and Mons Gruithuisen Delta, a lunar mountain immediately to the lower right of Gamma.
Also attached is a wider view from a still photo and a full disk image.
Thanks for looking
