Oceanus Procellarum

One of the largest unclaimed craters on the near side, wide enough to swallow a city and deep enough to hide a mountain.

Where it sits
Its place on the near side
The Moon keeps one face turned toward Earth, so your crater is fixed in the same spot of sky every clear night of your life.
JTC-1402 lies at 9.40° N, 61.70° W, in Oceanus Procellarum. On the map, north is up and east is to the right, exactly as it appears through a telescope from the high desert.
