Here's the Moon drifting through the field of view on the central area on day 7 of the lunar cycle. The video starts with 2 large impact craters near the bottom center of the screen named named Theophilus (on the left) and Cyrillus, with Mare Nectaris just above them. On the top is Mare Fecunditatis, with Mare Tranquilitatis on the left. At about 22 seconds in, there are 2 small, shallow craters named Ritter and Sabine that sit vertically next to each in the middle but far left side of the screen. Just above those 2 craters lies Tranquility Base, which is the Apollo 11 landing site. As we get to the end of the video clip, just to the right of center lies an impact crater named Albategnius that contains a central peak, and a smaller crater inside of it to the lower right named Klein. Just below that, there are 3 large craters along the Terminator (where light meets dark). The largest one on the left is Ptolemaeus, with Alphonsus to the right, and Arzachel next to that. To the left of those 3 craters lies the small Lunar Mare named Sinus Medii, with Mare Vaporum to the far left.
