Looks to be some great detail Roger, is there a larger version somewhere?  Looks a little burnt out on the right side, did you post-process.

Hi Roger

Try  Virtual Moon Atlas (http://www.ap-i.net/avl/en/start), interface is 'interesting' but the info is fantastic as are the surface options, and if using a high magnification, you can sync it to a known feature eg Tycho and the drive your scope around the moon with it! Just pick a feature and goto.

The pink Moon is a big improvement on the first image you posted.
Well done.
