BRIEF DESCRIPTION
The eastern edge of Mare Fecunditatis and the eastern limb of
the Moon are intersected by a wide and desnse field of craters,
in which orientation is not easy. The crater Langrenus is a
beautiful sight through a telescope. During favorable librations
the dark surface of Mare Smythii is visible close to the limb of
the Moon. Please refer to your copy of the Antonin
Rukl lunar atlas chart, page 125.
