Bill Leslie - Copernicus, Montes Carpatus and Kepler 16th April 08

The slumped walls of the crater Copernicus are very obvious in this image as are the rays and ejected material. Just to the north lie the Montes Carpatus with the craters T. Mayer and Mayer A at the western end. The fainter crater in the top right is Eratosthenes. The crater below Copernicus is Reinhold with the conspicuous crater Kepler in the lower left corner. Kepler's rays are not obvious in this illumination but one ray stretching from Kepler to Reinhold is easy to pick out.
