If you like this you will absolutely go bananas over the central peaks in Copernicus when you use Quickmap.

Is your area great for MilkyWay photography?

Nope. Thanks to chemtrails and light pollution we are lucky if we can see Jupiter or Venus from our vicinity.

That’s cool, but when you post, why not post it with the full url to the image you are posting? I believe it will give the exact coordinates.

Most of us can find Copernicus and zoom in to high resolution. There are fantastic boulder fields and other sights that are really fantastic in that area. Here are two interesting objects that I found on the north rim of Herschel crater. If you look close you might see something behind the upper object that looks like a parabolic antenna.

Too cool !, I've done my share of hunting on the lunar surface , this is amazing . Have you run across any baselike structures or antennae?

Yes i have seen a few strange things in small craters. Here's another link showing oblique view of the Copernicus crater peaks. lroc.sese.asu.edu/posts/675

Here are two examples of my finding things that don't belong in craters. Note that the crater rims in each photo have been disturbed to aid in entry. Weird stuff.

Another example of our taxes NOT being wasted

Some students at Arizona State University are paid to manage the photos from the lunar orbiting camera. This includes discovery of, and subsequent censoring of things the public should not see. This includes blurring and pixilating where deemed by the NASA techies on site. One may ask oneself why the far side of the Moon is never seen at the high resolutions we see on the near side. The LROC is still producing the same quality of images on both sides. ?????

I've found a site that actually has images of the darkside of the moon , it's pretty cool more anomalies and structures . It really tells the tale of what's up there.

Have you found any way to search for Apollo Landing Sites?
Here is a link to Apollo 11, but not from this site:
http://lroc.sese.asu.edu/posts/563
Also, take a look at this image where the orbiter was struck by a small meteoroid while it was capturing an image. http://lroc.sese.asu.edu/posts?page=8 Lot's of images on this page and this one is way down the page.
The 2nd image is the resolution I want to see. This is an Apollo 11 footprint.
I particularly like the 3rd image showing earth from moon orbit. The brown is the Sahara desert.

And the 4th image is from Tycho Crater.
