| La Condamine and Maupertuis craters 258 frames at 60%, in Registax |
At this stage, lunar landscape is full of sunlight. For this reason, most craters shine like pearls. Notice the bright arc craters left in images, that are gradually decreasing in size. The first three, from top to bottom, are the satellite craters of La Condamine, which is 37 km in size and located in their right, but not showing an albedo. These are La Condamine A (18 km), D (10 km) and C (10 km), and the last and smallest on the tail of the arc, is Maupertuis L (6 km). What I find interesting, is that the depth of La Condamine is unknown even in the present.
Lower left, is the eastern part of Montes Jura and Sinus Iridum. Images are processed in Registax of a video that have taken more shots, merged to form a single image.
