A lovely view of the eastern aspect of the mare which doesn't commonly attract imagers; nice to see Cassini in the centre of the image with the two crates trapped within. Elger says "Perhaps the most striking view of Cassini and its surroundings is obtained when the morning terminator is on the central meridian". It's images like these and a bit of reading which encourages me to look at the Moon more often. Thank you.
