Clavius is my favorite lunar site/sight.
I don't think I've ever caught it at that illumination angle though. It's as though the moon stops at the edge of Clavius.

I like the shadow in Tycho as well... cutting across the center and the central peak breaching the shadow, casting its own long shadow across the rest of the plain.
