First one is Harpalus: http://www.lpod.org/coppermine/albums/userpics/harpalus%20crater.JPG This crater has a diameter of about 40km and is located in the western part of Mare Frigoris. It has a very cleanly defined edge with terraces falling away to the floor and the ejecta surrounding the crater shows up well against the smooth Mare. Second one is Carpenter http://www.lpod.org/coppermine/albums/userpics/carpenter.JPG Diameter is about 60km, the sun is at a lower angle so most of the floor is in shadow. The western wall of the crater appears very smooth and has not collapsed into terraces. This is a young crater and contrasts with the very eroded Anixander crater that it partially obliterates. -------------------- Megrez 90 FLT 132 Mewlon 250 Lots of XWs, an Ethos, Supermonos and some other EPs Post Extras:       frank5817 Carpal Tunnel Reged: 06/13/06 Posts: 2778 Loc: Illinois Re: Two smaller craters [Re: Stephen65]       #2532871 - 07/21/08 08:21 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Stephen, Two super captures.
