The crater floor looked uniformly dark at first, but on closer observation, particularly under lower powers where contrast was greater, variations in albedo and light intensity could be seen.
Near the center of the crater floor a vague circular spot, slightly lighter than the surrounding areas, could be occasionally barely glimpsed or suspected.
In the southwest corner of the crater floor a narrow arc like line could be seen projecting into the interior of the crater from the margin of the dark floor.

Craters and surrounding areas photographed on the farside are -- Nassau, Van de Graaff, Paracelsus, Gagarin, Denning, Pirquet, Tsiolkovsky, Langemak, Meitner, Wyld, Purkyne, Hirayama, and Babcock.
From orbit, the photographic targets were the earth and moon in UV (experiment S-177), the lunar farside and eastern limb regions, the solar corona at sunset and sunrise times, the Earth's limb during solar eclipse, the lunar libration region, zodiacal light, the near terminator regions of the lunar surface, and the lunar surface in earthshine.

 LPOD lunar photo of the day » 2006 » August
Most of the craters are direct impacts, and the chains of small craters are secondary impacts.
These are both rims of ancient impact craters whose right sides were dropped down by faulting along the basin or perhaps just flooded by rising lavas of Mare Serenitatis.
Finally, on our tour of impact effects, notice the striations between Hypatia and Alfraganus - they are approximately radial to Imbrium and are probably related to that basin’s formation.

This was one of the clearest lunar eclipses ever observed, the imaged moon and umbra were distinct and with very good definition in the three video cameras used, although Peter Anderson reported with his crater timings and images that the sky transparency above Brisbane was not good.
Robert and Elizabeth Price near Bethanga Victoria reported crater timings and images, and Maurice Clark near Perth WA provided many crater timings as did Stephen and Kathy Kerr with Bill Oliver of the AAQ, and Tony Dutton
The crater timings received from all observers have been reduced for umbral enlargement and umbral oblateness.
