Speaking of the Moon, I've created a viewing guide for the crater
provisionally named by the Artemis II astronauts in honor of Reid
Wiseman's late wife, Carroll. The Moon's libration the next couple of
mornings (Sunday and Monday) is especially favorable for spotting it.

What a difference the Sun angle makes?! You can barely see some of those craters, Krafft and Cardanus especially, in the first image. I've always known but don't do enough lunar viewing (visually or photographically) to really have a good feel for it.

Thanks,
John
