Object: L 85
Feature Name: Langrenus rays
Significance: Aged ray system

Langrenus is a prominent impact crater 132km in diamater located near the eastern lunar limb. The feature is circular in shape, but appears oblong due to foreshortening. The outer ramparts are irregular and hilly, and there is a bright, fragmented ray system spread across the mare to the west which are the focus for this Lunar 100 object and faintly seen in the image above.

Opticstar PL-130M through 200mm f/4 GSO Newtonian with Tele Vue 5x Powermate.

Best 300 of 1000 frames stacked in Avistack. Processed in Astra Image 3.0, Photoshop Elements and Paintshop Pro.
