Maginus

This mosaic was assembled from 2 images, unsharp masked and edges trimmed in Photoshop CS2. Original images captured with a ToUcam 840 through my C8 SGT XLT with a 2x barlow. Resolution is approximately 500m per pixel.

The large battered crater at the left of this image is Maginus - a 163km diameter crater with degraded walls. Just to the right of Maginus is the 52km diameter crater, Proctor, seen with the shadow of it's crater wall half way across the crater floor.

Further to the right again is Saussure, a 54km diameter crater with an elevation of 1880 metres. Immediately to the right (South) of Saussure is the 122km diameter Orontius which contains the smaller smooth floored Orontius F (approximately 40- 50 km diameter) on its southern edge.

Above Orontius is the younger crater Huggins, which is 65kms in diameter and has in turn been encroached on by Nasireddin. Nasireddin  is obviously younger again than Huggins, and is 52 kms in diameter. Huggins A is also clearly visible near the lower right edge, but inside, Huggins.

Just to the right of Nasireddin is the 75km crater of Miller displaying it's central peak in this image.

In the bottom right hand corner of this image is the battered crater of Lexell - about 63kms in diameter. Deluc is the 47km diameter crater in the top left corner of this image with the floor of the crater obscured in shadow.

Either lead, follow or get the hell out of the way!
