Move your mouse over the picture to see the names of the various craters.
This is the far south-east area of the Moon imaged at a time of particularly favourable
libration for that area (Latitude -5° 41', Longitude 1° 43'). In the mouseover I
have attempted to indicate all the named craters that I can identify in the libration area with
a few of the more-prominent craters outside that area for reference.
The picture is a composite of two images taken with a ToUcam attached to my LX200 on 11th May 2005
at about 20:33 UT, when the Moon was 3.3 days old. The picture of the whole Moon, of which
this is a part, can be found here (290K). The picture was
captured in infra-red light about 50 minutes after sunset when the Moon was at an altitude of 24°.
