Lunar Longomontanus Region - a photo on Flickriver

Lunar Longomontanus Region

            Relatively reasonable seeing conditions on the 20th March allowed me to image the moon with my Celestron C11, after a collimation check.

This is the Longmontanus Region of the lunar surface found in the moon's southwest quadrant. This vista is located in the rugged Southern Highlands of the moon.

Heavily worn-walled  crater Longomontanus (towards lower right) is around 88 miles in diameter and has central peaks on its relatively flat floor.

Lying above is Wilhelm Crater around 65 miles in diameter. The two are separated by the almost obliterated Montanari crater.

There is a nice contrast between craters emerging at the terminator from the inky black darkness and the terraced walls of Tycho (partially making it into the frame at right) being strongly illuminated by the rising sun.

Imaged with a Celestron C11 SCT and my ZWO 290MM camera fitted with an IR pass filter.

Thanks for looking!
