If so, someone needs a lunar map. Without looking it up, I can only say
that Tycho is well south and west of the Sea or Tranquillity (is it Mare
Cognitum? someone get a map!)

Well, in the novel 2001, the monolith was found in the crater Tycho, because
of it's abnormal magnetic field. Hence, it was called Tycho Magnetic Anomaly
One (TMA-1)...  In fact, I believe the monolith found by Dave Bowman was
christened TMA-2...
