Wargentin

[astroavani]

There are times that I pursued a picture of Wargentin , and although this has not been to my liking due to bad seeing was the one I got today.
Wargentin
Craters of the genuine type Wargentin are few and far between on the lunar surface .
She has the look of money and should have been filled with lava fissures or pipes inside the walls of the crater .
In case Wargentin , this seems to have reached such a level that it breached the wall to the west and flowed over the plain surrounding it .
Its appearance is a small plateau , and the mystery has been explaining why Wargentin is not darker , as the lava lakes in the north and south ends of Schickard . One theory , supported by some evidence of observation , is that it was significantly attenuated by ejecta from Tycho .
Anyway this is a very unusual crater , appearing to be formed by a plateau and not a crater . To the west side it looks like it's overflowing , as in the other cardinal points is noticed an arc of low mountains like a horseshoe.
It is a crater that deserves a deeper research .
Attached put a picture obtained through the Quick Map which drew 2 altimetry profiles which show exactly the above .

Very interesting subject. Like the Quickmap....how is that produced. would be interested to have a go at that as well...

It is easy to use QuickMap colleague Steve! You find it here: http://target.lroc.asu.edu/q3/
To trace altimetry profiles and make 3D projections you use the tools located in the right corner at the top, is not difficult, just follow the steps.
Click the key it opens the tools that are necessary!
