About this image

In the absence of any readily accessible planets in the night sky I opted for the Moon instead.

The Altai Scarp (Rupes Altai) runs down the left centre of the image and is around 427 km in length.

The crater at upper left is Piccolomini (89 km) with Catharina (97 km) at lower left. Top right is Zagut (84 km).
