IWLOP #055 - Abenezra & Azophi
Two craters that are part of a group that is useful for orientation in this heavily bombarded area of the lunar surface.
Location: 22.0 S 12.0 E Origin: Impact Size: 43 (Abenezra), 48 km (Azophi) Rukl: 56 Type: CC
Objects: Apianus, Playfair, Azophi, Abenezra, Geber, Almanon
Others Identified : Andel, Catharina, Cyrillus, Theophilus, Kruzenstern
Observation 1: R1: Abenezra and Azophi are two overlapping craters between Almanon and Geber in the north and Apianus and Playfair in the south. C1: Abenezra overlaps both Azophi and Crater C. However, unable to tell the difference in their floors during this session. Observation 2: C1: Abenezra had a ridged floor whereas Azophi was smooth except for the small craters. Note: I attached my iPhone with x1.7 digital zoom part way through this session to determine if it would help by "zooming in". |
