Copernicus: De Revolutionibus [Nuremberg 1543]. Folio 79v-80r; Mercator's cursive hand can be seen on the left-hand page, along with Snell's, at the foot of the same page. Sp Coll Hunterian Cz.1.13.
The COPERNICUS crater, the largest crater seen at the left, is a prominent lunar crater in the eastern Oceanus Procellarum region. It is rare that anyone could get details of the moon craters this close with an amateur astrophotography setup, but luckily the weather's a bit favorable tonight despite being a bit hazy) that my Sony A6000 and tasco Luminova 4.5 inch 900mm telescope was able to resolve decent details.

Shot through a red filter using my DBK colour camera. Very good seeing on this night. Stadius, the ghost crater is just visible up and to the right of Copernicus.
The Copernicus crater is a lunar crater approximately 96 km in diameter and 3.8 km deep.
Inside there are three central peaks about 1.2 km high.
Seeing 6/10

Copernicus published De revolutionibus orbium coelestium in 1543, the first book to make the case for a heliocentric view of the solar system. There is a copy in the library of Magdalen College, Oxford which was exhibited to accompany a talk by Prof D Clary this week.

Copernicus: De Revolutionibus [Nuremberg 1543]. Folio 69v-70r, double page opening; left page, Gerhard Mercator (a previous owner) annotates in a calligraphic , italic hand, with its trademark capital 'E'. Sp Coll Hunterian Cz.1.13.
Edited Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter image of the central peak of the crater Copernicus on the Moon.

Original caption: Copernicus (9.62°N, 339.92°E), which is easily seen with a moderately powerful backyard telescope, is one of the best-known craters on the Moon. Despite its age (around 860 million years), it is well preserved with over 4000 meters of relief from floor to rim, and the tallest of its central peaks rises approximately 1300 meters above the crater floor. This image, centered on the central peaks, was captured just after dawn (86° incidence angle) as the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter slewed west to a 67°angle.
The view shown here is very similar to an LROC oblique image acquired in 2012, however in this case the spacecraft was at an altitude of 89 km, versus 120 km, allowing a closer inspection of the outcropping rock layers.
