Posidonius

I made an observation of the prominent walled plain Posidonius (95 km) at the border of Mare Serenitatis on November 2, 2004 (05:45-08:00 U.T.). I noted a significant amount of detail within the plain and surrounding regions. The Rimae Posidonius rille system was very prominent over the floor of the plain. The craters A and C are noted within the walled plain and J, B, and D along the upper (eastern) border. I welcome any comments that you may have on this observation.

The best of luck in your own observations and imaging of the planets and Moon.

Hi Carlos -

Another wonderful lunar drawing. What an inspiring idea for an observing project. Highly challenging and an almost limitless amount of subject matter to keep you looking forward to clear nights. Thanks for posting.
