Archimedes

1/60 second exposure, Kodak Ektachrome 160 slide film.
5" f/5 refractor plus 6mm orthoscopic eyepiece.

One of the best craters for viewing just after the first quarter moon, is Archimedes, situated on Mare Imbrium. The crater has high walls and a very flat, raised floor. Just to the west are Autolycus and Aristillus, while the crater to the north with the smaller crater inside, is Cassini. Visible to the north of Cassini is the Alpine Valley. The prominent mountain to the east (right) of Cassini is Piton.

1/125 second exposure, Fuji Super HG V 400 film.
300mm f/6 newtonian plus 25mm orthoscopic eyepiece.

0.002 seconds exposure, SBIG ST-8E CCD
18" f/10.5 Ritchey-Chrétien telescope at prime focus.

This image shows Archimedes and the region west (right) and north (below). The relatively smooth landscape of Mare Imbrium is obvious. The 3 sizable craters forming a right angle to the right of Archimedes are Timocharus (left), Lambert (right) and Pytheas (top). At the bottom of the image, the crater Plato is visible.

8" f/10 schmidt-cassegrain at prime focus.

This image shows a little more of the south west from Archimedes. The steep slopes of the Carpathian Mountains can be seen, with the mountain chain leading towards the crater Erathostenes. The area was visited by Apollo 15 in July and August 1971. The landing site at Hadley Rill is indicated by the red dot.
