In

these images

the largest

craters

visible

to

your

attention

at first glance,

are called

Stofler

right,

and

Maurolycus

These

should be

vice versa

but

the

image

is

inverted by the

telescope

(126

km),

is an

almost

circular

crater

An interesting thing

you

notice

is

its

flooring

where

there are several

shades

hese are

limited to

three

dark

spots

Other

features, are many very small

craters on

seemed

to

be

by bullets.

Another feature

of

Stofler

are satellite craters

placed on

the edge,

such as

Stofler

(19

km),

on

the outer edge

to the north-west,

and

Stofler

F

(18

km),

on the

inside

of

the crater

to the south

Southeast

stuck to

Stofler,

is

crater

(70

km).

It

is smaller

in size

and also has

satellite

craters

on

edge

Faraday A

and

C

(30 km

The latter

has some

central

peaks

inside.

Faraday

is a

circular

crater

but

distorted

by A

and

C

mentioned above

The second

big

crater

in

these pictures

is

(114

km)

circular

crater which

looks

messy

at first glance,

because

it has

many

features

It has smaller

subsequent

craters

but also

landforms

on the floor.

The interior walls

are very

wide

the crater

F

(25

km),

stuck to

B

on the

south, is

(15 km

On

the floor

are also

craters

the

L,

and on north

N.

The interior walls to V-N-E, are terraced , and are more wide inward to the floor than the south wall . North - west, the wall enters the floor and gives the impression of an extended wall of Maurolycus, right in the center. This higher area than the floor is more affected than the rest of the floor by subsequent impacts . In general , the whole floor is " riddled" with very small craters that are seen only with a powerful telescope and a pure atmosphere .



Please remember about the cardinal points that I wrote in the article, which are correct only if you look at the picture upside down , because the images are inverted as seen through the telescope .
