97 km diameter crater Arzachel with its single central peak was imaged with a 15cm Intes-Micro Maksutov- Cassegrain reflector and Astrovid 2000. Seeing was considered only moderately good, still some individual video frames resolved Rimae Arzachel on Arzachel's floor and just a hint of Rimae Alphonsus near the lower edge of crater Alphonsus at lower right. Crater Thebit is at upper left of Arzachel, Alpetragius, to far right, its massive central peak summit just being revealed by morning light. |
