South Pole strip - Feb 14

Hi all,

After a 4,5 months dry spell caused by weather, I could capture new stuff on last February.

Fair seeing an transparency on Feb. 14 when I captured this wide lunar south pole strip starting from Moretus - filled with shadow and a dotty central peak - ending up to those unusually bright terrains placed just southward of Hagecius crater.
A favourable libration could face us craters usually seen on the limb or behind it such as (from the left to the right) Schomberger, Scott, Amundsen, Hedervari, Demonax, Hale and much more.

As note apart, I noticed an error with the Virtual Moon Atlas software placing the terminator much westward than it appears here in my image. The VMA for that date shows me Moretus crater almost fully illuminated! Can someone explain why this incongruence?

More to follow.
Thank you for your attention.
