Hi all,

This 119 km walled plain was done with a 3X's barlow so that it would fit in the FOV. There is a smaller (18km) flooded crater called Winthrop in Letronnes west rim.

thanks

Mike -

Beautiful image! Is it ejecta that creates that ghostly glow around the small crater near the center of the field?

Mike,

An excellent image of Letronne and the surrounding region. The ripples (lava ejecta remnants) are well recorded over the floor of the plain. I look forward to your future images.
