At the top left is Sinus Iridum with the sun reflecting on its Jura Mts. Starting at Plato, you can follow the curve of Mare Imbrium past the Alps and Appennine mountains finishing with Eratosthenes crater. Copernicus with its terraced walls and ejecta striations is next to the Carpathian Mts which are half obscured by the Terminator.

The photo was taken with the Canon Powershot, handheld, afocal, using a 2" 26mm GSO ep and 2x barlow.
