Schiller

Captured December 13, 2005 on a ToUcam at prime focus of my C8 using K3CCDTools, autoexposure, 640 x 480, 10 frames per second. Unsharp masked in Photoshop and image rotated.

The elongated crater of Schiller (bottom right) shows the ridge along the centre of the north west end of the crater. West (left) of Schiller are Phoclylides and Nasmyth. Note the prominent shadow from the high peak where the eastern edge of Phocylides overlaps Nasmyth. Shadows on the south eastern edge of Phocylides bely high walls in this area.

Centre left is the crater Schickard. Schickard A,B and C are readily visible as is the colour variation in the floor of Schickard. Drebbel is prominant just above Schikard with it's brightly lit western wall.

Lacus Excellentiae (Lake of Excellence) is at top left, with Pallus Epidemiarum (Marsh of Epidemics) at top right. Below left of Schiller is the Schiller-Zucchius Basin.
