Towards Gassendi.
Everything in this modest image leads to the Gassendi crater. Seeing was definitely not my best ally; The image of the Moon on the computer screen swayed from side to side as a result of atmospheric fluctuations. A lunar photograph does not remotely live up to the view through the eyepiece of my maksutov telescope; The poor vision that was evident with the camera was not noticeable to direct view and all was calm in the soft, deep contrast of the telescope. An intense glow towards the lunar terminator and then, the deepest darkness.
Gassendi rises above the Mare Humorum crowned by a circular rim, barely distorted here by the effect of foreshortening, and a small crater that breaks the edge, generating the visual idea of a diamond ring; Cracks come and go between cliffs and fissures forged in stone and lava millions of years ago.
Perhaps due to the turbulence or my own inexperience, the photograph is far from being a good lunar photo, but it preserves the spatial mystery and the indecipherable sensation of silence of a mythical lunar wasteland.
