Plato is another favorite crater. It’s such a contrast to the surrounding area, and very round and flat.
Apparently, being able to pick up multiple craterlets inside Plato is a test of planetary optics. I don’t think this was the correct lunar phase to really shoot for this; I count 3. I was having a lot of fun picking up photos of stuff on the moon at a scale I’d never really shot before.
