      Description

      Below is a mosaic assembled from 8 frames captured on the night of April 11, numerous well-known locations can be seen on the lunar surface, almost impossible to name them all, but some deserve to be mentioned, such as the crater Plato with 101km in diameter, Vallis Alpes , a spectacular lunar valley that divides the Montes Alpes mountain range into two parts. It extends for 166 km from the basin of Mare Imbrium sloping east to northeast to the shores of Mare Frigoris, Crater Cassini with 57km in diameter, Hammer of Thor, MOUNTS CAUCASUS, MOUNTS APENNINUS, INA Crater also very easy to notice despite the difficulty and other really cool locations.
