Description

With a maximum diameter of more than 300 km, Bailly is the biggest crater over the entire visible face of the Moon. It also overwhelms Clavius, which is "only" 220 km wide.
I took advantage of a very favourable double libration (-6°20' lat., -7° long.), which exposed the south-western surface of the Moon placing Bailly crater quite good for observation.
