Default Ptolemaeus and Albategnius

Hi all.

Here's another hi-res mosaic of the Moon's surface showing the vast
filled crater Ptolemaeus and smaller Albategnius. Notice the tiny
craterlet atop the central mountain peak in Albategnius. You can also
see a number of filled but sunken craters in the floor of Albategnius,
brought out quite well under the low Sun angle.
