Schickard through a telescope November 8, 2011.

In these stabilized video images with Sony Vegas 10, we see many craters on the moon's south-west. Most evidenced by its size is Schickard (227 km), followed by Schiller crater (180 km), Phocylides and Nasmith (114/77 km) and Wargentin.
By the end of the clip is filmed Hainzel (70 km) also.

These craters can not be detected visually with the naked eye but through an astronomical telescope, or even with binoculars if it comes to Schickard which is quite large, but binoculars will be mounted on a tripod so that the image is fixed.

Images were acquired by attaching a video camera directly to an Newtonian astronomical 8 inches (203 mm) telescope's eyepiece; For this reason the eyepiece visual field was increased.
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.

We must remember that these images are inverted and so the cardinal points must be considered as such.
Hainzel, a peanut shaped crater, is located on the western side of the Moon, along with Hainzel A (53 km) (larger part), and C (38 km) (smaller part). Hainzel (70 km), after which are named all its satellite craters, is somewhere between the two.

Around Hainzel are a lot of small other craters: on the northwest are Hainzel's satellite craters, and south-east the sector is reserved for the satellite craters of the incomplete crater, Mee (132 km). Among them, there are also satellite craters of Epimenides (27 km), on the east.
Other craters seen in the pictures are: Wilhelm (107 km) Longomontanus (145 km) and Bayer (47 km).

HDR-ing the Moon. Hainzel crater telescope video.

Hainzel crater on the Moon's southeast, is part of a trio of craters west of Lacus Timoris, and has a diameter of 70 km.
Eponymous this crater is Paul Hainzel (1527-1581), who was an astronomer and the mayor of a city in Germany.
He was good friend with another astronomer who also has his name on a crater, Tycho Brahe. They built a giant azimuthal quadrant for measuring the heights of the stars, but was burned or destroyed by wind, after 5 years.

Hainzel

Hainzel crater (70 km), 3 km in depth, is a strange shaped one, located at the southern Mare Humorum Basin. This is affected by other impacts, and generally, looked as a whole, we can distinguish three impacts that formed​​ it. Inside Hainzel, there are two other craters called Hainzel A (53 km) and C (38 km).

Their floor is a rugged terrain with peaks centrally located, and Hainzel A, has the peculiarity that its inner edges have terraces which are evident, reaching the floor at its central peak.

Above Hainzel, notice four craters in the chain formation of approximately the same size. These are its other satellite craters called Hainzel K (14 km), B (15 km), L (16 km) and R (19 km).
Northeast of Hainzel, Palus Epidemiarum is a smooth region, which has an undefined shape, with a few craters on its surface, the biggest being Capuanus (60 km) a flooded crater that identifies the shade of the plateau .

Enjoying the Moon. Video of Tycho crater on the Moon by telescope.

Some of the largest mass extinctions of life on Earth could have been caused by cosmic catastrophes such as those in the Moon . But we do not really know how often are these events . Records preserved on the Moon might be able to help us as well.

With a very thin atmosphere , the Moon is collecting meteorites more than Earth, because of the large impact craters on it , making it to be a very good site digging for space debris containing valuable information about the past of our Solar System .

In the video shown below , we see craters on the Moon's south as Tycho (85 km) , Wilhelm (107 km), Hainzel (70 km), Capuanus ( 60 km ), and Lacus Timoris continuing onto south of Mare Humorum where are craters as Lee (41 km), Vitello (42 km ) or Doppelmayer (64 km), crater with a semicircular shape and a central peak in the middle, seen in the and of the video.

Tycho, is a lunar crater on the south , on which may be given full attention in times of Full Moon . At this stage it can be observed through binoculars , and also with the naked eye even if it is not large . With the naked eye we can not see the crater , but its light rays that spread on a large part of the southern hemisphere of the Moon , and in this way you can realize where it is , ie where the luminous intensity is the most intense , where all the rays unites.
When shooting this impressive crater , albedo which fills it and that on the outside, is alive and dominate the images.

          So far,I had Hainzel crater only in shadow without seeing it's floor. This crater is 3 km deep and consists of two joined craters A and C, both with the floor hit by smaller countless meteorites, presenting elevations and a bright interior. Both shows central peaks.

        Hainzel (70 km) shadow-filled crater is the center-right in photo, is located between Schiller and Capuanus craters.
      Hainzel is a member of a trio of overlapsed craters.Is situated on the west (east in photo) of Lacus Timoris in the southwest sector of the Moon. Mee (132 km), -he's also shadowy in photo on the right, is attached to the northeastern edge of Hainzel.
      Hainzel forms the northern part of the group, and is overlaid with Hainzel C, and then Hainzel A in the south. Hainzel A is the most intact and also the youngest of them. Both Hainzel A and C have central peaks.
