	Al Sufi (903-986 AD)
		Abd-al-Rahman Al Sufi (or Abr-ar Rahman As Sufi, or - according to R.H. Allen (1899) - Abd al Rahman Abu al Husain, sometimes referred to as Azophi) was living at the court of the Emire Adud ad-Daula in Isfahan (Persia), and working on astronomical studies based on Greek work, especially the Almagest of Ptolemy.
		Al Sufi's observations were not known in Europe at the time of the invention of the telescope, so that the Andromeda Nebula M31 was independently rediscovered by Simon Marius in 1612 with a moderate telescope.
		The astronomical community has honored Al Sufi by naming a Moon Crater after him; Moon Crater Azophi is at 22.1S, 12.7E and 47.0 km in diameter.

		Probably some of the original ejecta and ejecta from the later craters inside it all seem to have been subsequently covered by lava welling up from underneath.
		Some parts of this lava seem to have a few later craters while some areas are quite uniform perhaps indicating an even younger area of lava.
		Perhaps it was somehow due to a slight overlap with its older neighbor to the southeast, Azophi.

	Ian Ridpath’s Star Tales
		By the eighth century AD the centre of astronomy had moved east from Alexandria to Baghdad where Ptolemy’s work was translated into Arabic and received the name Almagest by which we still know it.
		Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi (903–86), known also by his Latinized name of Azophi, was an Arabic astronomer who produced a revised and updated version of Ptolemy’s Almagest called the Book of the Fixed Stars (in Arabic, Kitab suwar al-kawakib) around AD 964.
		As well as a translation of Ptolemy’s catalogue, this book contained a listing of the Arabs’ own star names, magnitudes determined by al-Sufi himself, and two drawings of each constellation, one as it is seen in the sky and one reversed right to left as it would appear on a celestial globe.

		By the eight century AD the centre of astronomy had moved east from Alexandria to Baghdad where Ptolemy’s work was translated into Arabic and received its name the Almagest.
		Al-Sufi (AD 903–86), one of the greatest Arabic astronomers (also known as Azophi), produced his own version of the Almagest called the Book of the Fixed Stars in which he introduced many star names.
		According to Paul Kunitzsch, the German authority on Arabic star names, bedouin Arabs had their own names for various bright stars such as Aldebaran, and they commonly regarded single stars as representing animals or people.

		However, when considered in its proximity to the crater Julius Caesar, it is as likely that this crater was named for Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa (63-12 BC), a Roman general and statesman.
		It was Agrippa who commanded Octavian's fleet in the victory at Actium (31 BC) over the combined forces of the Roman general Mark Antony and Queen Cleopatra of Egypt-effectively ending their plot to overthrow Octavian.
		Al-Sufi (in full, Abd al-Rahman Al-Sufi; also Azophi) (903-986) was an outstanding practitioner of astronomy in the Middle Ages.

		It includes a large number of lunar features (500) for immersion, where the crater is first eclipsed by the earth's shadow or umbra, followed by a list of 500 crater emersions where the center of the feature re-appears from within the umbra.
		The lunar latitude and longitude are given for each feature along with the crater X, Y coordinates in terms of the moon's radius R. Accurate timing of these events provides useful data to determine the geometry of the umbra and hence the shape of the earth's upper atmosphere during this eclipse.
