South-eastern limb of the Moon, sheltering the large walled plain Gauss and the well defined craters Geminus, Berosus and Hahn. In the east of the Schumacher crater, one sees the black spot of Lacus Spei (lake of Hope).

Street [ 59,1 N, 53,0E ] - dislocated walled Plain (136 km)

Strabo [61,9N, 54E ] - well delimited Crater, ramparts in terraces, arena
covered with lava (55 km)

Spei, Lacus [ 43N, 60E ] - Lake of Hope.Diameter of 80 km

Messala [ 39,2N, 59,9E ] - walled Plain (124 km)

Western limb of the Moon, where several small seas are gathered: Mare Marginis ( Sea of the Edge), Mare Smythii ( Smyth's sea), Mare Spumans (Foaming sea), Mare Undarum (Sea of Waves). The craters Eimmart, Alhazen and Plutarque are excellent bench marks. When the conditions of libration are favorable, the Goddard crater at the dark bottom and the Sea of the Edge (Mare Marginis) are quite visible the septentrional part of the sea of Crises (Crisium Mare) is hemmed powerful mountainous solid masses. In shaving light, one can observe many watersheds on the surface of his basin.

Between Eastern bank of the Sea of Fecundity (Fecunditatis Mare) and the edge is the Moon, clearly extends a field of craters, and dense, where it is difficult to be directed. The Langrenus crater is majestic under an oblique light. By a favorable libration, the dark surface of the Smyth's Sea can be observed on the limb.
