Not Linda

When I observe the lunar north pole I look for two touching craters that are my guideposts to the pole. " rel="nofollow Challis and Main are flat-floored, interlocking craters just on the poleward edge of the fresh crater Scoresby. Immediately beyond the twins is a similar size, flat-floored crater named Gioja. And opening up behind Gioja is Byrd, a large flat-floored crater, and beyond that, clipping the pole itself, is another crater named for a great polar explorer, Peary. I have seen all of these at the eyepiece, but I haven't noticed the very large Hermite, centered just over the limb, nor Lovelace which is even further onto the far side. Have you ever seen William Randolph Lovelace?
