Clavius and Aristillus (mosaic of two images)
Clavius [58,4S; 14,4W] One of the most famous lunar walled plains (225 km); the small craters punctuating its arena are appropriate perfectly for the telescopes of amateurs, with control of the resolving power. Interesting provision in arc of circle of the craters Clavius D, C, N,J, JA, which S ' shell by order of size decreasing starting from Rutherfurd Porter [56,1S; 10,1W] Crater (52km), up to 1970 indicated by Clavius B Rutherfurd [60,9S; 12,1W] Crater (48 x 54 km) Deluc [55,0S; 2,8W] Crater (47 km) Gruemberger [66,9S;10,0W] Crater (94 km) Maginus [50,0S; 6,2W] Remarkable plain closed (163 km) Moretus [70,6S; 5,5W] Circus (114 km) with mountain central Short [74,6S; 7,3W] Crater (70 km) |

Apenninus, Montes [20N; 3W] - The Apennines. In fact, it acts of part of the enclosure which surrounds the vast basin of the Sea of Showers (Mare lmbrium), with slopes intern relatively stiff. The slopes of the Apennines giving on the sea of Vapors (Vaporum Mare) are less abrupt. The tops reach by places 5000 m; the unit extends over a 600 km length Eratosthenes [14,5N; 11,3W] - Crater with very clear contours; enclosure in steps and central piton (58 km/3 570 m) Feuillée [27,4N; 9,4W] - Annular crater with abrupt walls (9,5 km/1 810 m) Beer [27,1N; 9,1W] - Circular crater with edge escarped (10,2km/1 650 m) Timocharis [26,7N; 13,1W] - Crater well defined in escarped edge and walls in terraces (34 km/3110 km) Wallace [20,3N; 8,7W] - Remainders of a crater covered with lava (26 km) |

Bancroft [ 28,0N; 6,4W ] - Crater (13,1 km/2 490 m) Archimedes [29,7N; 4,OW ] - Crater with clear contours, slopes in steps (83 km/2150 m) Archimedes, Assemble [ 2N; 5W ] - Together of mountains in the south of the Archimedes crater, covering a surface approximately 140 km in diameter Gambart [ 1,ON; 15,2W ] - Crater covered with lava, with relatively low enclosure (25 km/1 050 m) Small craters: Gambart C (12,2 km/2 300 m) Gambart B (11,5 km/2 170 m) Guericke [11,5S; 14,1W ] - Vestiges of closed plain (58 km) Kundt (Guericke C)[ 11,5S; 11,5W ] - Crater (11 km) Lalande [ 4,4S;8,6W ] - quite clear Crater (24 km/2 590 m), enclosure in terraces, hearth of a radiating system of clear trails Parry [ 7,9S;15,8W ] - Crater, bottom filled with lava (48 km/560 m) Tolansky (Parry A) [9,5S; 16,0W] - Crater flat-bottomed (13 km!880 km) |
Turner [1 ,4S; 13,2W] - Circular crater(11,8 km!2 630 m) Birt [22,4S; 8,5W] - Crater (17 km/3 470 m); joined with his enclosure, one sees the small crater Bld A (6,8 km/1040 m) Hesiodus [29,4S; 16,3W] - Crater filled with lava (43 km); Hesiodus A has two concentric enclosures Nicollet [21,9S; 12,5W] - Crater with regular contours (15,2 km/2 030 m) Pitatus [29,8S; 13,5W] - Walled plain filled with lava (97 km) Pitatus, Rimae - System of rilles, approximately 100 km length inside the Pitatus crater Recta, Rupes [22S; 7W] - Straight Wall. - 110 km length rectilinear fault, 240 to 300 m of unevenness; apparent width: approximately 2,5 km Gauricus [33,8S,12,6W] - Very eroded crater (79 km) Wurzelbauer [33,9S; 15,9W] - Crater ploughed up (88 km) |
