Moon, Limbo Southwest!

[astroavani]

There are several notable formations in the southwest limb but I would like to draw attention in particular to three craters, they are Schickard, Wargentin and Schiller.
Are outstanding representatives of three completely different classes of craters and deserve to be better described.
Schickard is a respectable size crater with its 233 km in diameter, but what really sets it apart are the two notable pyroclasticos deposits situated north and south, these deposits can be easily seen in the photo as darker spots and for those who still do not know , pyroclasticos deposits are originated from the magma pouring from eruptions that ocoreram the time the Moon still had great volcanic activity.
Wargentin is a special crater, is one of the few where the floor seems to be higher than the surrounding land, this lies greatly on its west side, many to compare to a currency and not to a traditional crater. One possible explanation is that the magma flashed on your floor in such a high volume that came to overflow the edge west.
Schiller is another crater class much rare! We can immediately perceive its elongated shape, completely different from the traditional circular craters. Not to be confused with Schiller craters at the edges that appear to be stretched for perspective effect. The most widely accepted explanation is that the fireball which caused it touched down at a very low angle just scratching at the surface rather than just pierce it.
That this picture will serve to assist colleagues in the observation of certain lunar regions and rest assured that with a simple opening of 150mm you can observe with great clarity all formations present.

Really nice detail. That will indeed be of use for many people trying to identify lunar features
