Move your mouse over the picture to see the names of the various features.
Hainzel is an interesting complex of three overlapping craters which are too near the terminator here to
show clearly. Another view of the area with a higher Sun can be seen here
which also shows a good view of Schickard. A better view of Schiller is shown
here. Mee is a somewhat older crater which has been battered by later impacts and debris.
The scale markers are approximately 100 Km north and east.
The picture was taken with a ToUcam attached to my LX200 on 28th September 2005 at 03:35 UT,
when the Moon was 25.1 days old.
