Unfortunately there isn't anything like that, although it would be extremely useful.
If only I had the time...

Did anyone actually see the video or are they basing their opinions on the still? The video is actually quite revealing. Look at the very top, not in the middle. There is clearly something protruding out...and most definitely cannot be a crater!
Oh and the link works just fine. Thanks for sharing!

All I see near the top is the raised rim of a crater wall. I took a shot of that same region of the moon, but mine is higher resolution than this video and you can clearly see a huge crater rim at the bottom (mine is upside down from the video). Clavius is at the top, the protruding crater rim is near the bottom of the moon, slightly to the left.

In my photo the Clavius region is more illuminated so you can still see into the crater some, not just the protruding rim.

No offense, but it sounds like your trying to confuse people. I was looking at the very top of the video frame and clearly something big was protruding from the surface. I have no idea what it is but I don't think its a crater rim.
On a side note, I didn't realize they sell such telescopes to amateur astronomers. The resolution is absolutely great!

I'm not trying to confuse anyone. My telescope setup, like most, makes things appear upside down. The bottom of my picture is equivalent to the top of his video frame. There's a huge crater rim above clavius in his picture and you can see it in the bottom of my picture. That's what you see protruding from the surface. Here's a higher resolution picture of the same region taken at about the same time of lunar day as his video but with my picture's orientation. Notice the same "protrusion" and notice where it is in relation to clavius.

Now look back to my picture and see what it really is: a sunlit crater rim surrounded by craters already in the dark.
