Ptolemaeus, Alfonsus & Arzachel Crater Chain

[Virgoman]

Hi Everyone,

                      Just posting a Flickr link to another lunar image which I acquired. This is of the Ptolemaeus, Alfonsus, Arzachel crater chain. This well defined group is found near the centre of the lunar disc. There are many well defined features evident including the fault line Rupes Recta in the relatively smooth Mare Nubium. Many thanks for looking and, as always,

                                                                    Best regards,

                                                                                            Ralph

very nice area of the moon. Purbach, ,Thebit, Arzachel and Rupes Recta have always reminded me of a "face" from the very first time i imaged that area.
