Moon - Rima Hyginus and Rima Triesnecker

Acquisition type: Lucky imaging

Since the clouds were rolling in, but moon was still visible, I just slewed the scope to the moon and made a quick sequence. At least one image for this night

On the right side you see "Rima Hyginus" which is roughly 220 km long and only 4 km wide. On the left there is the network of "Rima Triesnecker" which scales 200 km x 2 km

The smallest structures identifiable in the image are approx. 600 m which equals 0.3 arcsec.

Update 2021-04-08, Revision B:

The article "THE DARK-SPOTTED MOON" ('Astronomy Now', 04/2021, Nigel Longshow) used this image for showing a very interesting phenomena: The dark spots which indicate violent, eruptive activities, where lava material was errupted.

Description: Unexpected detail:
Based on an article printed in "Astronomy Now" 04/2021, "THE DARK-SPOTTED MOON", Nigel Longshaw, publishing this image I became aware of this tiny but very interesting detail I was not aware of: A small dark area which indicate lava material which was violently erupted.
I highly recommend the article.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
