Someone check the full res and see if you can find the Apollo landing sites

It took him about 28 minutes to shoot 32000 photos weighing 73.5 gigabytes using his ZWO ASI174MM monochrome camera, a couple of filters, his Sky-Watcher HEQ5 mount, and his Celestron C9.25 telescope (which is equivalent to a 2350mm f/10 camera lens) equipment that cost him about $3500 total.
...
Not bad, but I still doubt a wife or girlfriend would approve it.

You can clearly see the triangle just a lil north of Tycho. The big rayed crater mid way up and to the left.
Haven't found the landing sites yet, they're probably too small to see.

His photo is a jpg so it doesn’t like any resizing over 100%. You can lay over the landing sites on top of his image and see the 6 landing spots clearly (but not to the point where you can actually see physical signs of the landings).

There are concentrated clusters of impact craters on the south pole. I wonder if that tells astronomers anything about common paths of travel for large impact objects?
