Longomontanus Home

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

Longomontanus Longomontanus is only about 300 Km north-west of Clavius, but somewhat smaller at 150 Km in diameter. It is deep in the southern highlands and about 3,900 million years old.  It has a relatively flat floor with multiple small mountains and three prominent craters, F, L, and M, within it.
The scale marks in the bottom left-hand corner indicate approximately 50 Km north and east.
The picture was taken using my LX200 with a X2 adaptor lens on 7th October 2004 at 04:08 UT when the Moon was 22.8 days old.
