Nice image shot of Plato there, can see 5 of the big 6 craterlets and it shows up the fan shaped lighter floor area well.

Erick, I find the craterlets easiest to see when Plato is near the terminator because the shadows give relief, and also at Full Moon when they show up as white dots on the crater floor. Here's an image I took at Full Moon that shows at least six white specks that match up with craterlet positions.
