Moon Monday 18th February 2019

A good photo but the details look flat because the sun is hitting the craters full on and there's no shadow!

I compared this photo with 18th November 2018 when the sun's light angle to the Moon made a terminator and great shadows, e.g. on the crater Copernicus.

Time 19:40.
Distance 221,774 miles.
Waxing gibbous phase.
100 degrees E compass point (azimuth).
Altitude 31.5 degrees.
