Harbinger Highlights
image by " rel="nofollow Jocelyn Serot, France
This is definitely not the good season for imaging the Moon. It's too low on the horizon both on first and last quarter. Yet, yesterday evening, I couldn't resist fitting the camera behind my small 6" Mak to take this image, despite a very bad seeing. All the mounds, mountains and domes emerging from the smooth surface of western Procelarum were just catching the eye. I think there is a lot to tell about the similarities and differences between all that are visible here : the Gruithuisen domes, the V-shaped and Baby-shaped mountains west of Delisle, the Harbinger Mountains and Mons La Hire. There's also an arc south of Prinz : curved ridge trace of a large buried crater ?
