After more than a month of inactivity due to bad weather and some effort, I finally managed to make some new observation and another two times.
In this session, given also the positive phase of the moon, I dedicated to a location on the Moon which I consider among the most fascinating, the ridge of the Apennines and the crater Copernicus.
This chain extends to a length of 950 km along the southeast margin of the Imbrium sea and on the east overlooking the sea and on a portion of Vaporum Serenitatis. At its southern end is the crater Eratosthenes (60 km diameter and 3900 meters high walls), in the immediate vicinity of the first rise the ramparts of this majestic mountain range.
Afterwards I moved to the crater Copernicus, because, besides being really nice to see, has a resume quite interesting
Age estimated to be 800 million years, about 95 km diameter crater, about 3.8 km height of the walls
training center that stands out in all its glory, consists of three isolated mountains that rise up to 1.2 km.
What about the night, cold as it was really exciting; The comments did not last long (purtroppo!) due to a commitment, but were strong enough to make me quickly forget the period of forced inactivity due to this rather unstable weather .. or better .. too stable in the negative. Clicking the link below you will see the two images extrapolated from the icy evening of 15 December 2010.
