Unknown
Burg crater (40 km) is located in the midst of Lacus Mortis. Due to its position, it is easy to locate but only through an astronomical telescope. This is a circular crater with a distinct central peak and beautiful terraced inner edge.
On the south-east of Lacus Mortis, notice two close craters, nearly flooded by lava in the past, called Mason (33x43 km) and Plana (44 km). Plana C (14 km), is attached Plana to the northwest.
Magnitude: -10.82
Phase: 0.46
Distance: 399.283 km
Illuminated: 45.6% (0% = New, 100% = Full)
Astronomical instrument: Celestron C8-Newtonian telescope,
Eyepiece: Plossl 20mm, 2x Barlow
Mount: CG5 (EQ5)
Camera: Sony CX130
Filter: no
Date: 30.01.2012
Location: Baia Mare, Romania
Processing: FastStone Image Viewer
In the picture below are labeled craters and other lunar features in the region. To better understand this photo, you should note that the label with the name or the letter of larger craters could be found at their center, and on the small craters, you should find them around them, usually above.
