Vieta is 90 Km in diameter and 4,500 metres deep. It is about the same age (3800 million years)
as Fourier which is 54 km in diameter and 3,700 metres deep. Cavendish is an interesting crater
but does not show up well in this late-evening picture.
The scale markers are approximately 100 Km north and east.
The picture was taken in infra-red light with a ToUcam attached to my LX200 on 31st August 2005 at 04:35 UT when the Moon was 26.3 days old.
