The region near Mare Crisium. The two craters inside the Mare are Picard (23km) and Peirce (19km). The Mare is surrounded by Promontorium Lavinium (200km long), while the dorsa inside the Mare are Dorsum Oppel (268km long) at lower left, and Dorsum Termier (90km).Along the terminator, below Mare Crisium, you can find Cleomedes (126km), Burckhardt (57km) and Geminus (86km). Rather in the dark there is Messala (124km) and, at the bottom of the picture, Edymion (125km).

The region between Mare Crisium and North Pole. The Crater in the center is Edymion (125km).

Edymion (125km) in the shadow, while in on the upper left corner, the two large craters are Ercules (left, 69km) and Atlas (right, 87km).

Another picture of the moon just centered on Mare Crisium.

Craters below Mare Crisium: Cleomedes (126km), Burckhardt (57km) and Geminus (86km).

The biggest crater in the center of the photo near the sun terminator is Schickard (225km). Just above it Nasmyth (77km) and Phocylides (114km). Image taken on September 15, 2005, at 21:52UT.

Lunar region around Schickard (225km). Pay attention to the very long shadows between Nasmyth (77km) and Phocylides (114km) (the couple of crater above Schickard).

Tycho (85km) is the crater with strong ejecta. September 15, 2005, 21:53UT.

The crates along the sun terminator on the top of this picture are Schickard, Nasmyth and Phocylides, while the deepest crater a little above the center is Vieta. September 15, 2005, 21:55UT.

The region around Vieta: the deepest crater near the sun terminator just above center. The crater in the lower right corner is Gassendi (110km) while the basin above it is Mare Humorum.

The North Pole region of our satellite. September 15, 2005, 21:58UT

Upper left corner: Harpalus (39km), below it you can find Babbage (144km) and inside it, Babbage A (32km).

Hershel (156km) is the phantom crater a little bit left of the center of this image. Below the Anaximander craters and on their right Carpenter (68km). Again on the right Anaximenes (80km) and Philolaus (71km).

Copernicus (93km) is one of the most amazing crater on our satellite. Image taken on April 18, 2005, at 22:06UT. The Moon was two days past first quarter.

The two small craters on the left of Copernicus are Fauth (12km) and Fauth A (10km).

On the right side you can find Gay-Lussac (26 km) and Gay-Lussac A (15 km)

The picture was taken with a TouCamPro II web camera staking about 1000 frames. A wavelet transform filter was applied to get the final result.

Moon picture taken on May 18, 2005, at 21:55UT with a TouCamProII webcam stacking about 1000 frames.

The biggest crater is Clavius (225 km), inside there are a lot of small craters. The crater near the top border is Rutherfurd (48 km). Outside Clavius, on the left the biggest crater is Blancanus (105 km).

Image taken on March 30, 2005 at 01:44UT with a Nikon D70 digital Camera with 7 frames stacked.

The moon was three days past first quarter.

The biggest crater in this image is Clavius (225 km) (enlarged view in the next image), the two large craters just below Clavius are Longomontanus (145 km) and Wilhelm (107 km) . At upper left of Wilhelm there is Lagalla (85 km). Right of Wilhelm, there is a very nice crater with a marked central peak: it is Tycho (85 km).

Crater clavius (225 km) is one of the biggest on our satellite. On the upper right border of Clavius, there is Rutherfurd (48 km), while on the lower right there is Porter (52km).

This image was taken on March 20, 2005 at 01:44UT, with a Nikon D70 digital camera applied to the 0.36m reflector of the observatory.

Longomontanus (145km) is upper left, just below there are Wilhelm (107 km) and Lagalla (85km). In the lower right corner, with a very nice central peak, you can find Tycho (85 km).

Mare Imbrium is the largest basin in this pictur taken on March 20, 2005 at 01:46UT.

The largest crater abome Mare Imbrium is Copernicus (93km). At its right there is Eratosthenes (58km).

Inside the Mare, the largest crater on the right is Archimedes (83km), at its right Autolycus (39km) and below it Aristillus (55km).

The two craters very similar on the left of Archimedes are Timocharis (34km) and Lambert (30km).

On the bottom border of Mare Imbrium there is Plato (101km).

The region between Plato (101km) and North Pole. The basin is Mare Frigoris.

The region around Copernicus.

Another picture of Copernicus (93km). The crater on the right is Eratosthenes (58km), the two craters above are Reinhold (43km) and Reinhold B (26km).
