Gassendi crater snapshots.

The largest crater that captivates you in these pictures, is Gassendi (110 km). It is easily observed through binoculars not only through a telescope. This area is magnified by the camcorder's lens, it is not a digital zoom. Every day craters looks different as the Moon phases are constantly changing.

Many of the craters present here were presented in other articles where I presented images of the same evening, but processed in Registax 5. These are only video captures.
