A young person's guide to rare lunar nomenclature:
Romer-A (to the north-northeast of Romer) was once called "Stephanides" by Felix Chemla Lamech, and also "Ataturk" by Hugh Percival Wilkins and Patrick Moore (see page 86 in the book THE MOON by Wilkins and Moore).
Bob, you have also captured the landing site of Apollo 17 at the valley of Taurus Littrow! (left margin of photograph).
Wonderful image!
