Two large craters stand out in this view of the Moon. Copernicus is on the terminator (day-night line on the Moon) on the far left. Similarly, the Clavius crater lies on the terminator near the Moon's south pole.
The movement of the Moon from left to right is due to the rotation of the Earth and the fact that the 20 cm Newtonian telescope used in this video was not tracking the Moon. An iPhone 11Pro was attached to the eyepiece end of the telescope.
Video captured in northern Vulcan County.
