The Importance of Libration in Lunar Observation

Two photos taken at an interval of one lunar month with a difference of only 4% of the illuminated phase accurately demonstrate the importance of libration in lunar observation.
With just another 2 liter in the south latitude, we can easily see the central peaks of the Hausen crater in the February photo that are not visible in the January photo.
A good lunar observer or even a careful photographer will certainly not miss this opportunity.
These little things make the Moon one of the most interesting stars in the solar system, just know what to look for!

Ah ! I thought you wrote libation! Chuckles.

Great shots and aye - the Moon's fascinating ( after the sun ) ....

 

Have ye all seen this one ...

 

My English sucks, and the Google translator does worse.
Where you read 2 liters, you should read 2 degrees, and where you read the star, you should read ASTRO, a word that I believe does not exist in English or French.
