Superb shot. I didn't realize the South Pole had that little spot, like where the vine broke off. Looks kind of like a honeydew melon. You must used a telescope?

That's not the South Pole, though. The Lunar South Pole is on the FAR SIDE (oooooOOOOOooooo) and not visible from the Earth.

Unless.... Wait; Simon, exactly where is your "garden" that you shot this from???
