Viewing the limb of the Moon always increases hope, perhaps because as the surface curves away the perspective changes and there are expectations of seeing something new. Alan’s view of landscapes north of Mare Frigoris was obtained when the libration was unfavorable for seeing to the north pole but it provides a near profile perspective of relatively fresh impact craters. The twin-peaked crater just right of center is Meton and W. Bond.
