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-2601 lies at 31.80° S, 27.30° W, in Palus Epidemiarum. On the map, north is up and east is to the right, exactly as it appears through a telescope from the high desert.
