Observation Five-Craters at 7 Days Old with Binos Aug 13, 2013

Craters Aristoteles (48 miles diameter, 10,000 ft deep) and Eudoxus (35 miles diameter, 11,000 ft deep) in the north form the most prominent features along the 6½-day-old Moon’s terminator. 

These craters are better seen during a 7 day old moon and were observed with binoculars:

Piccolomini
Theophilus 
Cyrillus
Catharina
Posidonius
Fracastorius
Aristoteles
Eudoxus
Cassini
Hipparchus
Albategnius
Aristillus
Autolycus
Maurolycus

I'm sure learning a lot by training my eye what to look for.  I am seeing things for the very first time.
