About this image
Hi,
I have made a number of observations and I did not want to mail them all separately, hence this mail.
For the full resolution it is best to open the link, so all observations can be seen in full resolution.
I hope the moderator find good to do it this way
Thank you
- Well known among the moon observers.
and
- One of the biggest mare of the moon is mare Imbrium. Unfortunately, I have not been able to observe the whole mare. Anyway, a large part can be seen here.

- On this observation you can see 3 craters diagonally.
From top to bottom Cassini crater (flooded with lava) with 2 craters in the crater bottom.
In the middle, Aristillus crater with several mountain peaks in the middle.
Below left crater Archimedes with small crater wells.
To the left of Aristillus crater see a number of Montes Spitzbergen mountains and to the left of Cassini crater see Mons Piton.
The mountain range on the right is Montes Caucasus.
- On 12 February I could only do one observation and that is the area around Mare Crisium.
- I have made these kind of observations before and it still amazes me how the moon can be beautiful when the sun is high.
- Much has been said about it, one of the most beautiful craters of the moon: 
Another look at craters bottom. This observation is made far from the terminator. During the moon's observation, contrasts are increased during recording. This to give the dark and light lava part more contrast.
and
C14 and Basler Ace 1920
