Sinus Iridum
44.60° N, 30.90° W
Inside the Bay of Rainbows, the most elegant curve on the near side, where the Jura Mountains sweep out into a half-drowned crater wall.
Seeing it from Joshua Tree
The Golden Handle effect lights this bay for a few hours each month. Worth planning a desert trip around.
The bright, ancient uplands. Rougher country, more dramatic in a telescope.

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-1237 lies at 44.60° N, 30.90° W, in Sinus Iridum. On the map, north is up and east is to the right, exactly as it appears through a telescope from the high desert.
