Aristarchus crater

Aristarchus is a rather peculiar crater. It is for me the most exciting pattern in the Moon. It is located over a weird squared area and there is an important valley near it, to its north-west. It is visible since now, 2 days before Full Moon.

The picture was shot tonight through a non-motorized 150mm (6 inches) reflector using high definition video capture with Casio Exilim EX-FS10.
