Subject: Dome Zilla


Hi Folks;


I thought this might interest a few people for potential targets with

upcoming quarter moon.

Seeing was poor that night, but it was favorable for low angle

lighting of the "Dome Zilla" area to the west of Copernicus.


This mosaic was taken with a C8 at prime focus (2,000 mm focal length)

using a DMK 21AF04.AS camera. I've marked the known domes with "D",

some possible domes with "D?" and also some broad areas of interest,

like the mega domes and areas of darker ash. Also there is one unknown

"snaking" rill to the north that does not show up on Ruki or any of

the Geological survey of the moon maps either.
