Astronomy Video by telescope Rupes Recta and Janssen on the Moon

This is a video with stabilized images in Sony Vegas. It shows craters on the southeast of our Moon, and Rupes Altai, surrounding the southeast of Mare Nectaris basin. Rupes Altai appears in the first part of the video, on right. It is the long border, ending below with the crater Piccolomini (88km).

Known as Altai scrap, it is a mountain formation that is clearly defined in the southeast quadrant of the Moon. It is a remnant of concentric rings around the Nectaris basin, and forms the southwestern edge of it.

Above Rupes Altai passes an ejected ray of albedo from the impact that created Tycho crater, and reaches the Mare Nectaris plateau.
From 1:49 minute, in images appears the large crater Janssen (190 km) which is centrally located in images. The atmosphere was clear and the details of the lunar soil are visible.
Other craters visible in the video are Lindau (53 km) and Rothman (42 km).
