Moon - Day 8 - WBond Plain
Initially I had an issue with identifying the name of the area and surrounding craters.
I have now determined the main structure within the centre of the image is the walled plain named W Bond which is located at the Northern area of the moon just to the north east of the famous crater Plato (101km)
The plain is around 156km in diameter and the main craters within are W Bond B (15km ) and W Bond C (7km)
The crater in the north west location is called Timaeus (33km) and the chain of craters arcing off to the right are Archytas (32km), Protagoras (22km) and ending at Egede A (13km)
