Description

The moon looks charming even on a small scale in good conditions. This phase coincided with the six-stage western libration, making the structures at the western edge more visible. There are details on the Mare Orientale and great streaks to the south that are traces of the impact that creates this pool. The big Bailly crater to the south, great craters at the equator: Grimaldi, Hevelius and Riccioli, and the distinctive Pythagoras to the north are eye-catching. I was able to show the details of the entire illuminated surface in a specific way, very sharp and attractive.
