LANGRENUS
Directory - Section 49

BRIEF DESCRIPTION
The eastern edge of Mare Fecunditatis and the eastern limb of the Moon are intersected by a wide and desnse field of craters, in which orientation is not easy. The crater Langrenus is a beautiful sight through a telescope. During favorable librations the dark surface of Mare Smythii is visible close to the limb of the Moon. Please refer to your copy of the Antonin Rukl lunar atlas chart, page 125.
