| The western limb of the moon, imaged at f/25. Due to the favourable libration, a large part of Mare Orientale can be seen. Also the rayed craters Olberth and Byginus are visible. Initially this was meant to be a false colour mosaic, but it turned out that the cloud variability was to much, causing gradients in de colour channels. Instead, I allowed the colours to subtly shine through the image, creating a more visual appearance of the Moon. | 03 August 2010 |

| The Lunar north pole was visible during a favourable libration. The seeing varied greatly during hte making of this mosaic, so image quality is not even in the image. Still, the jagged edges come out nicely, and it shows some craters and hills that are not often seen on the Moon. | 01 March 2010 |

| Mare orientale is difficult to observe, since it is located near the edge of the western Lunar limb. On the 17th of June, the libration was very favourable, showing almost the entire Mare, including the Rook mountains. To the left a dark smudge marks the pyroclastic surge of an ancient vulcano south of the Mare. | 17 June 2009 |
