| 10.1'' reflector Mallincam DS432cTEC with 2.5x barlow November 12, 2021 Moon is waxing gibbous, 1 day past first quarter. Prominent center-left is Mare Imbrium with the triad of craters Archimedes, Aristillus, and Autolycus (in descending order of size). Center-right is Mare Serenitatis with the large craters Aristoteles and Eudoxus above it. Standing in fantastic relief on the southern edge of Mare Imbrium is the Apennines mountain range; the Hadley Rille region where Apollo 15 landed is at the north end of the range. A thin gash on the top edge of Mare Imbrium is the Alpine Valley; its dark floor is approximately 10 km across at its widest. |
