Oceanus Procellarum
17.80° N, 54.20° W
Adrift in the Ocean of Storms, the largest dark expanse on the Moon and the last ground the lunar sunset reaches each month.
Seeing it from Joshua Tree
Visible longer than any other region. Look to the western limb before the Moon sets over the Little San Bernardinos.
On the dark basalt seas. The easiest ground to find from your own backyard.

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-1355 lies at 17.80° N, 54.20° 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.
