It's clear that you put great effort into your videos. You let the drift of the targets become a feature of the presentation.

Can you remind me again of your telescope's size?

You labeled a number of lunar features in this video. I wonder if you've ever seen crater Petavius at early new moon? It would show well in your telescope. It's a large crater of a bit over 100 mi, and at new moon has a noticeable spoke radiating from the mountains at its center.

I wrote about it here: https://afterdark-skies.blogspot.com/p/petavius-crater.html?m=1

A closer view (video).

Not as crisp and clear as the views from @appagalcrochet’s Matilda but I thought I’d give it a shot!
