Finding one is not as easy as you think

It's more like finding a needle in a haystack.
Which area to choose - smooth or cratered, popular or little known, near side or far side, front facing or edge? When to land? During Full Moon, Gibbous phase, First Quarter, Last Quarter or Crescent? In full sunlight or total darkness or at a glancing solar attitude? Inside a crater or outside one? A crater with steep walls, or one with shallow slopes. One with a center mountain peak or without? Or land on the Maria smooth area, or on a bright region, or dark? Perhaps we'll see when we get there and make a choice at that time. For now we can review the photo spread and share ideas.
One thing we can do is take our Moon image from a recent Singularity Observatory archive and do a Photo Spread, then analyze the corresponding individual photos for location suitabilities. The image example is is processed with free Online Photo Editor to get the corresponding photo spread. The photo was taken by Humanoido yesterday during the Gibbous Moon.
