Three Binocular Craters around 14 Days


Three binocular craters in the NW. Grimaldi, furthest west, required a full moon image.

Observer Comments

Target DescriptionThere are all three "Binocular craters around 14d". Kepler is extremely prominent and can be seen earlier. Grimaldi, while quite large, is very close to the western rim of the visible moon, and needs a full moon image.
Image Capture DescriptionThis full moon image was an opportunistic capture with my Seestar on a clear night with good visibility, just because. At the time I was not contemplating the AL Lunar Program.
