Description

It's the most famous fault on the moon.

It is 110 km long, 240 to 300 m high and its apparent width is 2.5 km.

It is not a steep cliff, but a relatively gentle slope.

I took advantage of good conditions and the rising sun, one day after the first quarter, in order to capture its thick shadow.

Technically, a little more work than usual since I selected 325 images/24000 with 5 videos, in order to get on AS a quality of 90%.

Thank you for any comment or criticism.
