Rima Hyginus and Surrounding Areas


Rima Hyginus is the crevice-like feature that runs up and down the right center of the image.  The little crater toward the center of the rima is Hyginus.  The dark oval feature toward the bottom is Mare Vaporum. 

The relatively large crater on the left edge is Manilius.   The medium-sized crater on the right edge is Triesnecker.   You can barely make out the rima associated with Triesnecker.

In the upper part of the image is another rimae, Ariadaeus.

Data taken this time through the neglected C11.   Best 64 frames out of 318 frames.   ZWO ASI 174 mini (a guide camera) was used.   The camera has much better dynamic range than the QHY 5LII that I used on my last lunar attempt.
