Sunset over Gassendi

Move your mouse over the picture to see the names of the various craters.

Sunset in Gassendi This picture is a composite of two pictures taken on the same night and shows the south-western limb of the Moon. If you were there on the floor of the crater Gassendi the sun would have set, but you would still be able to see it striking the top of the central mountain and the mountains in the east.

The picture was taken with a ToUcam attached to my ETX125 on 24th August 2003, when the Moon was 24.9 days old.
