Pyroclastic Deposit in Alphonsus

Often has been said that in certain situations the Moon images taken by professional astronomers with their telescopes on Earth can almost match images made by probes that are in the orbit of our satellite. Even pictures of amateur astronomers can often reveal surprising features.

The image below was obtained using a reflector telescope 12 "f / 5 and a camera Qhy 5L color is not the most sophisticated and yet it shows many details such as; channels rilles, features and some small cratereletas that appear here very crisp, which are the pyroclastic deposits within Alphonsus. Both the crater Alphonsus crater Arzachel like craters on the moon are indoor and fractured crater Alphonsus is the easiest place to see volcanic craters with dark halos on the Moon The impact that created the Imbrium Basin created a large number of crater chains radial which are very well seen east of the crater Alphonsus, as well as some chains that can be seen north of the crater Arzachel. This telescopic image of the moon is really interesting and you can learn a lot by examining every inch of it but let's just stick to the effects of volcanism.

In the photo appear several pyroclastic deposits in Alphonsus, but three were highlighted because of an occurrence in common, ie, they have at least a crater shaped ellipsoid well highlighted.

Using QuickMap made available by a widening probe LROC site these apparent elliptical craters and all you can see highlighted a material highly reflective which should probably be credited glazed lava formed during volcanic eruptions lunar.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
