This Eratosthenian crater must be some 2.5 billion years old. Its outer rampart is impressive, as is its floor, which unfortunately was not seen on this occasion due to morning shadowing. The ghost crater Lambert R was detectable but is best seen closer to the terminator as sunset approaches during the waning crescent phase. Further south from Lambert and Lambert R, crater Pytheas (20 km.) was also visible. Closer to the sunrise terminator Mons La Hire was casting long shadows while crater Euler (29 km) was just catching light on its eastern rim. To the north of Lambert, Dorsa Stille and Dorsum Zirkel were easily visible along with many small craters.

I was getting a very good view and although there were many fine targets to choose from, I have not sketched Lambert since 2007, so I thought I'd have another go at it.

At the top of your paper I see some signs of intelligent life on our sister Post Extras:       frank5817 Postmaster Reged: 06/13/06 Loc: Illinois Re: Crater Lambert on Mare Imbrium [Re: Jef De Wit]       #4526904 - 04/18/11 04:50 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Jef, Thank you. One edge of the paper is embossed with the words 'Colorline Canson' over and over the other side is not. I'm sure I sketched on the wrong side but on the other side there was some gum left from the price tag. I should know better by now because I have made this mistake before.
