Pictures of the Lunar 100, 51-75

Pictures of the Lunar 100, 1-25 Pictures of the Lunar 100, 26-50 Pictures of the Lunar 100, 76-100  Still Needed:   L56, L57, L60, L67    John Duchek's Pictures  space available  The Lunar 100 A list of of interesting lunar features compiled by Charles A. Wood Ph.D.  They are arranged in order of ascending observation difficulty. These also prove to be a challenge to photograph.  Most of these will give you a larger image by clicking on the image. I just found out there is a limit to the page length! I have 18 of the 25 pictured so far (03/30/2011)       51 Davy Crater Chain Result of comet-fragment impacts. Just to the right and above Davy, one can see the chain running off to the right.  Still working  on a better photo.    08/20/2011, 4:30 am   52  Cruger Possible Volcanic Caldera      53 Lamont Possible buried basin      54  Hippalus Rilles Rilles concentric to Humorum basin Click on picture to see full size where the rilles are easier to see.      55  Baco Unusual crater floor and surrounding area - I am not sure what is so special here; I need to get a closer look!      56  Mare Australe A partially flooded ancient basin      57  Reiner Gamma Conspicuous swirl and magnetic anomaly  Taken April 15, 2011. While the skies were bad and this isn't my best picture, click on it to get full size.  Because I caught it at sunrise, one can see the lava flows around it.  A very interesting shot! 08/20/2011: much better resolution on this shot taken on a waning gibbous moon at 4:30AM (ouch)      58  Rheita Valley Basin secondary crater chain      59  Schiller-Zucchius Basin Badly degraded overlooked basin      60  Kies Pi Volcanic Dome      61  Mosting A Simple crater close to the center of the lunar near side       62  Rumker Hills Large Volcanic Dome: I located this on a sea of rainbows shot I took a while back.      63  Imbrium Sculpture Basin Ejecta near and overlying Boscovich and Julius Caesar      64   DesCartes Apollo 16 landing site; putative region of highland volcanism      65   Hortensius Domes Dome field north of Hortensius near Copernicus       66  Hadley Rille Lava channel near Apollo 15 landing site      67  Fra Mauro Formation Apollo 14 landing site on Imbrium ejecta       68 Flamsteed P Proposed young volcanic crater; Surveyor 1 landing site.  This description doesn't seem right. It is a large flooded crater in the Ocean of Storms. The Surveyor 1 did land here.       69  Copernicus secondary craters Rays and craterlets      70  Humbodtianum Basin Multiring impact basin taken on May 22, 2010 near maximum libration.      71  Sulpicius Gallus dark mantle Ash eruptions northwest of crater      72  Atlas Dark-Halo Craters Explosive volcanic pits on the floor of Atlas      73  Smythii Basin Difficult to observe basin scarp and mare      74  Copernicus H Dark halo impact crater 09/20/2010, Orion 10"      75  Ptolemaeus B Saucerlike depression on the floor of Ptolemaeus 08/20/2011:4:30 am.  This shot of Ptolemaeus B catches a bit of shadow and makes the depression more visible.
