This picture seemed all wrong until I turned my moon globe upside down. Some large Mares are easy to identify, so it could be a picture taken from the southern hemisphere, but... The branch overlapping the moon on the left of the picture points right at the Mare Marginis, which isn't called that for no reason. It's supposed to be only just visible at the very edge of the limb. http://www.skyatnightmagazine.com/feature/monthly-moon-column/moonwatch-%E2%80%93-mare-marginis Was that what you were thinking?
