Abstract
The lunar south polar region. Toward the northeastern corner of this image is the flat-floored crater Boguslawsky with its half-illuminated satellite crater Boguslawsky D on its southeastern floor. The elongated crater southwest of Boguslawsky is Demonax. West of center of the image is the crater Scott and north of Scott is Schomberger and its satellite crater Schomberger D. On the southern rim of Scott is the cone crater Wapowski. The black oval south of Scott is part of an unnamed crater between Scott and the crater Amundsen. The black arc east of the unnamed crater is the crater Hédervári. Partly hidden by the limb below Amundsen and Scott is the northern rim of Faustini. To the west of Faustini is the crater Shoemaker. Image taken by Howard Eskildsen on January 11, 2011. (North up.)
