Description

11 day Moon, 75.1 % illuminated.

Time (UT): 19:44.

Seeing: Fair-Good.

Altitude above the horizon: 66.8º

Resolution: 0.28 arcsec/pixel.

Mosaic of two pictures taken with the ASI 290MM camera.

RESOLUTION: Between Le Verrier T and Helicon B is Le Verrier S, a 3x3 km crater, just in the limit of resolution of the combination of Mewlon 180C, ASI178MM, and the light of an 11 day Moon. BTW, it is also on the limit of resolution of the known Virtual Moon Atlas.

The maximum width of the rille in the Vallis Alpes is 1 km, but it can be almost seen in this picture.
