Cassini

Staying in the vacinity of Mare Imbrium I picked a new target in the crater Cassini. There are a couple of famous astronomers called Cassini but the most noted is Giovanni Domenico Cassini. G.D. Cassini was a 17th century Italian astronomer who was the first to observe many of the moons of Saturn, the main (Cassini) division in Saturn's rings and, along with Robert Hooke, the Great Red Spot on Jupiter.

I only recorded one video of Cassini using the 2x Barlow and here is the end result:


The Cassini crater is the larger, flat crater surrounding the 2 smaller craters (which are Cassini A and Cassini B). It is belived that Cassini flooded with lava at around the same time as Mare Imbrium, about 4 billion years ago. The A and B craters are certainly younger impacts.
