Another great horror film name. One imagines setting it as an idyllic spot until the asteroid hits!
Observer Comments
| Target Description | Another great horror film title, this is a tiny Mare with a huge impact crater (Burg) in the middle. Death, indeed, if you happened to be canoeing on the lake when the asteroid hit! |
| Image Capture Description | This is another of my "library" photos, captured because it was a nice crisp view of the moon on an evening I was observing with the Seestar from my rear deck. |
