< Previous Next >Just managed to take this set of images before the clouds rolled in (again..). Seeing was very good and moon high in the sky. Aristarchus clearly draw attention as I looked through finder, so I couldn't resist imaging this crater I had not imaged before. The surroundings of this very bright crater are also very interesting. The valley to the left of the Aristarchus is called Vallis Schröter.
