Crater Copernicus (upper right of center, circa 93 km diameter) dominates the frame in this moonshot taken with the 40D's Live View. 
The mountain range from left bottom corner to center is Montes Apenninus, while the crater at the mountains' end (center) is Eratosthenes (58 km). 
At lower left are three fairly large craters - Archimedes (largest, 83 km), Aristillus (middle size, 55 km) and Autolycus (39 km).

HIGHLAND FULL MOON IN COLOR. The thin mountain-top air at Mt. Data (elev. 2155 m) allowed good seeing conditions for moon shots, 
letting some of the lunar colors reach the 20D's sensor. I then boosted the saturation and local contrast in post process to 
exaggerate whatever colors were captured. [20D + 500 f4 L IS + Canon 2x/1.4x TCs, 1400 mm]
