Vlacq

Hi all, this crater is just above centre with two central peaks, has a diameter of 89kms. Named after Dutch bookseller and mathematician. In 1628 he published logarithmic tables calculated to ten places. Imagine that without a calculator. To its right is the large crater Rosenberger with diameter of 96kms. There is an interesting crater wall visible at the bottom right corner of the image. It is the large crater, Boussingault, diameter 131kms. Baussingault A is within, and the whole feature resembles a crater with a double wall.

IMO this is my best Moon image so far.
