Hello AstroBee. Along with Mare Tranquillitatis, you also caught some nice views of Mares Serenitatis, Crisium, Fecunditatis, and Nectaris. You have excellent contrast, and many surface features in your image. As a Iunartic, I greatly enjoyed both the original and the annotated versions AstroBee, and keep up this great work.

Thanks! Yeah, lots more to see there but I didn't want to crowd the labeling too much.
Thank you for the kind words.

Great image. In addition to all that crater detail, I love the walls and rifts you have captured in the maria floors!
