Arnold and Democritus. North Moon craters seen through the telescope.
http://lupuvictor.blogspot.com
By telescopes with higher powers, you can identify impact craters north of Aristoteles, as Sheepshanks (25 km), C. Mayer (38 km) and Arnold (95 km).
Democritus was once a prominent crater. This area of the Moon is an interesting challenge for observation.
Optics: Celestron C8-Newtonian telescope, 20mm Plössl, 2x barlow
Mount: CG5 (EQ5)
Camera: Sony CX130
Filter: no

Location: Baia Mare, Romania
Processing: video captures, FastStone Image Viewer
In the pictures below, a chain of five craters on Mare Frigoris, which starts at a greater called Democritus. This is not only one of its kind, because not far from the chain, there is another one, on Mare Frigoris, which consists of 7 craters.
In this image taken on May 6, 2011, are included both chains of craters at the north of the crater Aristoteles (which are seen in the photos above), and one that starts from the crater Epigenes.
