Well done, George!

The attachment shows your photo with the sizes and locations of the
craters containing several LCROSS north polar target indicated by
labeled ellipses (in the upper panel). Both the near and far rims of
two of those craters seem to be visible, as indicated by the dots and
arrows in the lower panel. Details of the other three craters are
less clear, for they appear, in this geometry, to be at least
partially obscured by foreground ridges and/or crater rims.

Your photo is similar to the one taken by British amateur Peter Lloyd
on 16 Sep 2005:

and to the one by Wes Higgins shown (at the top) in the LPOD of Mar 11, 2009:

but clearer than either of them.
