Stefan,
This is a VERY interesting image.
Because: you have captured the weird chain of drop-shaped craterlets to the west of Gruithuisen (which was also photographed by CMP Alfred Worden of Apollo 15).
The high-albedo dome Mairan T ("Mairan tholus") looks very distinct on your image.
I like this image very much!

This is some of the best moon images I have seen. Great Job!
