Aristarchus Plateau, Kepler Crater and the Marius Hills

            I've been doing mostly lunar imaging for the past several months. I enjoy hi-res imaging of the lunar surface.

Here is a newly-processed shot of features from the Moon's Northwestern quarter, the Copernican period crater Kepler (at lower center, with the prominent ray system) and the Aristarchus Plateau at upper center (featuring the bright Copernican period crater Aristarchus and the sinuous Vallis Schröteri). On the extreme left margin at center is Marius Crater (with the volcanic dome region known as the Marius Hills. Between them all lies a portion of the vast Oceanus Procellarum, where distinctive features can be sparse!
