SW Limb Panorama

|
Image Credit: Rod Mollise
SW Limb Panorama Every view of the Moon is different. Often, near the glare of full Moon, astro-imagers stay indoors, re-reading old S&Ts. But as Rod Mollise's nice mosaic of the 12 day old Moon demonstrates there is lots of detail waiting to be captured. This swath of the limb and near-limb includes a variety of favorite (and ought to be favorite) features. Starting on the left is the edge of Mare Humorum and then across a backwater to zebra-striped Schickard and over to the basin near Schiller. Older, flat-floored craters such as Schomberger and Klaproth hover north of Clavius. Moretus is a very much under-valued Tycho-look alike crater, but older since it lacks rays. East of Moretus the higher sun tends to pick out just the steep-sloped smaller craters, making identification of even named craters difficult.
