Craters Goclenius Magelhaens and Colombo. Video by telescope

Goclenius (72 km), Magelhaens (41 km) and Colombo (76 km) craters are located between two basins, namely Mare Nectaris and Mare Fecunditatis, row somewhat in line from north to south on the eastern side of the lunar cadran. Videos are upside down as seen through the telescope, so that north becomes south and vice versa.

Between this series of craters and Mare Nectaris, is a mountain range, which forms the Nectaris basin's edge.

More details about these craters, I will write in another article with photos of the video images processed in Registax.
