Bob, wonderful image!
In the upper right corner I see crater Buch and the adjacent bright craterlet Buch B (N.W. of Buch itself). During Full Moon, Buch B looks like some sort of "star" (a bright pointlike spot with dark halo). The Clementine close-up (in "Map-A-Planet") shows a curious ejectablanket around it, composed of dark and bright rays. The color-albedo version of Buch B looks very bluish. Looks as if it's made of "Lapis Lazuli"!
