Hi Duane -

I think the jury is still out on the formation of Schiller (but leaning towards an oblique impact):

Looking straight down via Lunar Orbiter images (or in earth based images taken at a low sun angle) that bizarre caldera topped mountain is clearly seen as two separate features - a long hill with a crater on the floor of Schiller just behind.

Thanks,

Alan

Hi Alan,

Nice shot. It makes me eager for ver. 4 but then again I know this image is from you and
part of me knows you're taking it beyond my capability :)

I never looked at Schiller closely before, but it appears to be two craters joined (and
flooded) together creating the potato shape, doesn't it? Maybe that's already known, but
then again self discovery is good too.

Thanks for sharing and keep'em coming.

Duane
