Hi all,
I have made a serendipitous discovery while imaging the other night.
I present my discovery and novel nomenclature for consideration by the IAU Lunar Nomenclature working group.
The crater, currently designated, Maurolycus, I propose to rename, 'Straya.
Prominent shadow features have escaped previous study but are revealed in the present images clearly and unambiguously. The author proposes the following shadow feature names:
Sinni
Brissi
Darwo
Perf
Dlaide
Melbun
Of interest and as a focus of future studies, the region named herein, "Lack 'O Tassie" presents rich research opportunities, particularly in the Selenographic area where a distinct absence of a map of the region presents difficulties.
I will keep colleagues informed regarding my correspondence with the IAU.
