Hi Mark,

This map of the lunar 100 oriented to the naked eye view (with the moon at the meridian) should help straighten you out:

Plato is 83, Archimedes is 27 and the Alpine Valley is 19.

I hope you will share some pictures of Jupiter this spring from down under.

best,

Alan

Alan, actually I think the upward orientation in the shot is towards the moon`s western (or tilted a bit south-west) side, not the east as I wrote. Would this be right? At any rate it threw my own calculations about lunar features off significantly. I didn`t realise at the time, I was in the same region as your excellent "Plato" work. Yours, Mark
