Apollo 15 and Mare Imbrium

From top, the large craters are Cassini, Aristillus, Autolycus and Archimedes. Apollo 15 landed in a valley tucked into the Apennine Mountains, which is the lower range. Above that range are the Caucasus Mountains. The photo was taken in 1998, and is a single shot scanned from a Kodak E200 slide. I used a 10-inch Newtonian, a Nikon F3 and a 12mm Brandon eyepiece.
