This is cool.  My Monday post on the moon talked about the crater Theophilus.  My old astronomy friend Scott Anttila was able to get a great image of this crater.  It compare’s favorably with the Virtual Moon Atlas image.  First, here’s his image:

I had to flip the image to match the map below.

Here’s my Virtual Moon Atlas Image from Monday:

Thanks Scott!

See why I love that crater?
