Description

Mare Humorum. Large crater at the top is Gassendi. Lower crater complex is Dopplemayer, Lee and Vitello. Both Gassendi and Doppelmayer appear to be younger than Humorum, but both appear to have lava breaching their crater walls. Perhaps someone with a good grasp of lunar geology can explain how this might occur.
Captured with Celestron Edge HD 8 and modified Canon 450D in live view mode and BackyardEOS. Best 30 of 300.
