Gassendi with its adjoining crater "Gassendi A"
looks spectacular at 90x with its odd central peak.
These two craters together looks like a diamond ring.

for Apollo 17 mission.

Able to detect about 4 very very small craters at the
surface of Mare Humorum. Check if your 50/60mm
scopes are able to detect these small craters!
