BRIEF DESCRIPTION
The eastern edge of Mare Imbrium is one of the most interesting parts of the lunar surface. The lunar Alps with their well-known alley, the solitary mountain Piton and the group of three craters Archimedes, Autolycus and Aristillus are suitable objects for telescopic observation. Refer to your Antonin Rukl lunar atlas chart, page 51.
