Great detail in the crater. I like the way you can see craterlets in the larger crater, along with some rills.

As with all moon images here, I expected amazing, and yet was still blown away. Very nice!

That's the best Petavius shot I've seen short of one taken by a lunar orbiter.

Hi Efrain.
Very nice image of crater Petavius. The walls have a 3D look to them and the Rima is well defined. It looks like you are about to land inside of it. Well done. Clear skies to you and a Happy New Year. Paul
