Of course, the most impressive feature that captures your attention in these images is the huge crater Deslandres (256 km). Despite its size, it can not be detected by simple binoculars, but through an astronomical telescope. This is not strange because Deslandres, even if it is very large, is not quite so deep to be distinguished visually observed when using a small power instrument, and thus is easily confused by the surrounding land.
Deslandres is a remnant of a crater, very affected. It is located south-east of the Mare Nubium on the southern part of the Moon.
In size, it is the second-largest crater on the visible Moon after Bailly crater, which is 303 km.
Other neighboring craters of this huge crater, are Oronţius (122 km), Walther (128 km), Sasserides, Regiomontanus (126 km), Pitatus (97 km) and Ball (41 km). . Embedded in Deslandres crater, are small crater Hell (33 km), and Lexell (63 km).
These images processed in Registax are extracted from a video which can be viewed here.
