Pictures by astronomical telescope Aristillus and Autolycus.

The images depict west area of Montes Caucasus on the Moon, where we meet Aristillus and Autolycus craters, and the larger crater Archimedes, located on Mare Imbrium.

The area is "quiet", without too many rough terrain and craters. Here you see the light rays that start from the crater Aristillus over the smooth plateau of Imbrium basin.
