Digital astronomy: Video Cleomedes lunar crater by telescope.

Video images of the lunar crater Cleomedes on the east of the Moon through the telescope, are somewhere on here. The images were stabilized, and the athmosphere quality was acceptable.
Cleomedes is a crater wich have a shovel shape. It has this form because of its position on the Moon seen from Earth. But it has a nearly circular shape.
Above Cleomedes is Burckhardt (57 km), smaller, and Geminus (86 km), bigger. In the southern extension of Cleomedes is Mare Crisium. Last crater that appears at the top of the clip is Messala (124 km).

Moon craters by astronomical telescope Geminus and Franklin

Cleomedes the terminal crater, 647 frames, 75% best quality in Registax



Crater GEMINUS and Franklin, 642 frames, 80% best quality in Registax

In these images, on the Moon's terminal on its east side, there are some pretty big craters in size, but are immersed in darkness. Crater Messala (124 km), lies north of Geminus. Its characteristics can not be observed being shrouded in shadow. Only the outer edge of the west is seen, hinting that there is a crater.

At Geminus (86 km), we can observe in the light only a little of its east inner edge.

Continuing westward (to the left of the image), craters begin to be away from the darkness, and we start from Berzelius (51 km), which has a flooded floor, and Franklin (56 km), with a mountanous floor and terraced inner edges. Cepheus (40 km), lies northwest of Franklin.

Images are processings in Registax of a video that have taken a various number of shots, merged to form a single image.

List of east features of the Moon. astronomy lecture

East of the Moon is marked by several interesting features. Most notably is Mare Crisium, a "sea" visible from the Earth with the naked eye as an isolated spot by other seas, dark in colour.
 Notable craters on the east side of the Moon are Posidonius, Petavius ​​and Langrenus, which are the largest in size.
 Even if it seems that East of the Moon has not too many huge craters, actually there are many  small craters as we can see in the list below.

Space missions on the east side of the Moon.

Apollo 16 (1972) with people on board. Apollo 16 was the tenth mission in the Apollo program with humans. It was launched on 16 April 1972 and ended on 27 April. It was a lunar rover mission and brought back 94.7 kg of lunar soil and rock samples.

Apollo 17 with people on board. EVA activity (EVA). Apollo 17 was the 11th and last  manned mission of the Apollo space program. Launched at 12:33 a.m. on 7 December 1972, with a crew of three members: Eugene Cernan, Ronald Evans and Harrison Schmitt. Apollo 17 landing remains the most recent made ​​beyond Earth's orbit.

 Luna 21 (1973) USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics), has successfully carried on the lunar surface rover Lunakhod 2 on January 15, 1973. It sent back 86 panoramic images and over 80,000 TV pictures.

Ranger 8 (1965) USA - intentionally crashed. Launched on February 20, 1965. Ranger 8 successfully sent 7137 images with a resolution of up to 1.5 m.

Surveyor 5 (1967) successfully landed. It sent more than 19,000 images to Earth, and has conducted more than 100 hours of compositional analysis of the surface.
