Here we have a rather nice image of a small part of the Moon from the Liverpool Telescope archive. The large crater towards the centre of the image is the Plato Crater, which is approximately 101km across. The dark region above it is known as Mare Frigoris, whilst below it is the Mare Imbrium region. Mare, otherwise known as lunar seas, are flat basaltic plains that were formed by ancient volcanic eruptions.

The field-of-view of the Liverpool Telescope is only 4.6 arcminutes, hence we can only see a small part of the 29 arcminute diameter moon.
