Moon -- Full moon vs. craters

There is some interest, how a crater close to terminator (having shadows) looks like during full moon. One is curious to identify the craters and details responsible of the hundreds of the white spots and lines seen on the full moon. Here a few picture pairs have been collected. These samples are mainly from lunar limb. There will be hundreds more in the category "Opposite terminators". They cover the central parts of the lunar surface.
Typically TIF-files are in range 10-40MB.
