#babbagecrater

[reflexletterpress]

Good viewing, good phase. First thing I thought: there's Aristarchus again. And Plato and Copernicus and Tycho and all the usual suspects. But look at the crunchy stuff to the north, where Mare Frigoris segues into Sinus Roris and you get the edges of craters like Babbage, South, and Herschel. Or similarly to the south, with the edges of Schickard, Phocyclides and Nasmyth catching the light, along with what I guess is Rimae Sirsalis more toward center. There's always good stuff to be seen where the dark meets the light. But Tycho does look splendid, the darker image gives more contrast to highlight the brighter and rayed craters. However, this is definitely one of those nights where the digital version is pretty darn lame. #iphoneastrophotography #lunarphotography #20xbinoculars #aristarchus #copernicus #tycho #plato #marefrigoris #sinusroris #babbagecrater #southcrater #herschelcrater #rimaesirsalis #schickardcrater #phocyclidescrater #nasmythcrater https://www.instagram.com/p/CPPJmtMBuYK/?utm_medium=tumblr
