Terminator on the south-west quadrant

It's been a lovely clear night tonight, and it's always nice to have a good gander at the moon - particularly along the terminator where the shadows throw the craters into relief. The prominent feature on the middle part of the terminator is mare humorum and its largest crater gassendi. To the right of that is mare nubium, the prominent crater to the south is tycho and to the north (near the top of the picture) is the crater copernicus.

This was my first attempt at digiscoping. Particularly difficult with a hand-held camera instead of a digiscope adaptor, but I'm sure over time my technique will improve.
