Hi all,
A Pic from Friday 20/10/23 showing the feature, Lamont (Dia. 106km), named for German astronomer Johann von Lamont (1805-1879).
Also shown are the piddlingly tiny craters acknowledging the Apollo 11 landing in 1969. Armstrong gets a massive 4km blip while Collins and Aldrin get 2 and 3km respectively. I wonder if the IAU could get any smaller landmarks to commemorate the Giant Leap. The actual landing site is just near the "s" in Collins'name.
