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-2140 lies at 55.80° N, 3.20° E, in Mare Frigoris. On the map, north is up and east is to the right, exactly as it appears through a telescope from the high desert.
