lunar landscape - help!Posted By Mike Wirths |
Hi Alan,
1st off thats a superb lunar image!! Tons of fine detail and well processed!
Yeah I get lost sometimes too especially in that region you were imaging! I leave the camera in and instead of changing to an ep to scout out another area to image I just drive around using the hand controller 8)
I use a program called Virtual Moon Atlas, its freeware and you can just plug in any time or date and see what would be on the terminater.
You can get it at www.astrosurf.com/avl
That area starting near the limb on the left of your image, is Demonax (just slightly in from the terminater), the other large crater to the right of Demonax I think is Scott, below Scott is Schomberger.
Shomberger in your image has a brightly captured craterlet obove and to the right thats Schomberg A.
Anyhow that gets you in the area, Rukl 74 shows it best.
cheers
