I can see how it's debatable, but with a nice shot like this, it sure looks like two craters to 

me. I popped that out there with a couple circles showing what I think clearly looks like 

two nice ovals:

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
