Sirsalis is a small crater that gives its name to the longest rille on the Moon. At this phase of the Moon, the limb tends to be very bright compared to the area near the terminator, so I had to overexpose this picture to bring out the craters near the terminator. The rille itself is not well shown and extends beyond the bottom of the picture. This picture was taken when the Moon was 26 days old. |  |

There is a lot of detail in this part of the south-west region of the Moon. But the lighting is unusual and I have found it difficult identify many of the features. The picture was taken when the Moon was 26 days old. |  |

A new picture of Schickard, taken when the Moon was 26 days old. If your browser does not take you directly to the new image, it is the second one down. |  |
