 Regiomontanus biography
One astrolabe in the group is of particular historical significance because it was presented at Rome in 1462, with a dedicatory inscription, to Cardinal Bessarion, titular Latin patriarch of Constantinople from 1463, and one of the illustrious Greek scholars who contributed to the great revival of letters in the fifteenth century.
As well as the time spent in Rome, he travelled in Italy with Bessarion spending the summer of 1462 at Viterbo, Cardinal Bessarion's favourite summer residence, and, when Bessarion left for Greece in the autumn of that year, Regiomontanus accompanied him as far as Venice.
Bessarion had to return at this time to take part in the election of the pope's successor.

 Crater diameter sequence for central north Oceanus Procellarum for small aperture amateur telescopes
This crater sequence chart is intended as a resouce for amateur astronomers to explore crater sizes that are visible at various magnifications and apertures.
The crater sequence chart extends from the lunar equator or north 24 selenographic latitude and to west 65 selenographic longitude.
Craters in the Gazetter with different designations in Rükl's Atlas were excluded from the chart to maintain consistency between sources commonly used by amateurs.

Questo sembra costituito da due segmenti affiancati i quali superata una porzione dell'altipiano meridionale raggiungono il mare Nubium percorrendo il suo lato occidentale ed una volta superato il cratere Bullialdus vanno a terminare poco a nord del cratere Lubiniezky dopo avere percorso una distanza di 800-900 km.
Dal cratere Tycho luminosi e lunghi raggi si dirigono anche in direzione sud, visibili nelle immagini 1-4-7-8-9-10 raggiungendo le estreme regioni meridionali della Luna, fino in prossimità del lembo sud del nostro satellite.
Scendendo nei dettagli questo raggio si affaccia sul mare Serenitatis in corrispondenza di Menelaus, cratere del diametro di 32 km situato sul margine sud di questa distesa pianeggiante.

 Regiomontanus Summary
A visiting Church official, Cardinal Bessarion, came to their aid in 1460 by contracting Peurbach to produce a new Latin translation of Claudius Ptolemy's Amalgest from the Greek instead of from its intermediate Arabic translation.
By the spring of 1461 Peurbach died at the age of 38, before the work was completed, and his last wish was that his student carry on his work.
He built astrolabes for Matthias Corvinus of Hungary and Cardinal Bessarion, and in 1465 a portable sundial for Pope Paul II.

The unofficial named crater "Giner" (Posidonius P) was my first 'discovery' in the field of unofficial lunar formation-nomenclature, I detected the name Giner on the Hallwag-moonmap while comparing it with the small pocket-Rükl back in the middle of the 80's.
Note that the brightest crater on the moon Aristarchus is almost the exact antipode of the dark floored far-side crater Tsiolkovski.
When the sunrise-terminator is situated at 11 or 12 degrees west (over the crater Eratosthenes), there is at 16° north/ 6° west a solemn east-looking face observable: this face looks very serious and has something 'Egyptian', like a kind of ornament-head wearing a point-hat.

Following Peurbach's death, he continued the translation of Ptolemy's Almagest which Peurbach had begun at the initiative of Johannes Bessarion.
Nevertheless Regiomontanus' promise suggests that he either was as convinced of the validity and utility of astrology as his contemporaries, or was willing to set aside his misgivings for the sake of commercial success.

The kicker is, the company doing the process requires that the "new" person, the android, inherit the identity of the "original", while the "original" is sent to the Moon, to live out what will presumably be a short life -- in conditions of luxury but isolation.
But Karen soon has a problem -- her original body dies, and her son sues -- he argues that his mother is dead, and he has a right to inherit her estate.

The resulting maps of selected craters were not equalled until the U.S. Air Force began issuing its own series of photobase lunar charts in the 1960s.
They depict the crater Plato and the Alpine Valley and were the result of the problems of determining topography from shadow patterns.
Bianchini noted with surprise that the valley did not appear on the great Cassini map, and he was right; Bianchini was the first to see and to portray this most impressive of lunar valleys’ (William Ashworth jr, The face of the moon p 11).

The expulsion from Paradise was pictured above as a fall from Bessarion to the Horologium state or to the Frau Mauro condition of becoming the turned-around Devil's Disciple.
The point at which the stellar legend of Orion scatters as Aristarchus downward from Bessarion on the moon corresponds to a scattering backward in time, as the moon itself moves daily in the direction converse to the theatre of the stars and the mythos of Orion's rise.
The deflection downward into the Horologium or Frau Mauro state occurs as Aristarchus takes a hit from Einstein in Crater Euler and begins to concentrate after the Fall as Frau Mauro, haidmaiden of binding, on themes in unified relativistic quantum field theory that come forward in the Bier.

 Georg Purbach Summary
He is credited with the invention of several scientific instruments, including the regula, the geometrical square, and the "Jacob's Staff." The Purbach crater on the Moon is named after him.
His observations were made with very simple instruments, an ordinary plumb-line being used for measuring the angles of elevation of the stars.
Cardinal Bessarion invited him to Rome to study Ptolemy in the original Greek and not from a faulty Latin translation.

Gerard of Cremona was unable to translate many technical terms, even retained the Arabic Abrachir for Hipparchus.
In the 15th century, a Greek version appeared in Western Europe, and Johannes Müller, better known as Regiomontanus, made an abridged Latin version at the instigation of the brilliant Greek churchman Johannes, Cardinal Bessarion.
At the same time, a full translation was made by George of Trebizond.

In these publications we have tried to use astronomical instruments as historical sources within their cultural and geographical contexts.
Thus, for example, it was possible to show that the astrolabe supposedly dedicated by Regiomontanus to his patron Cardinal Bessarion in 1462 but branded fake, was one of close to a dozen from the same or closely-related workshops, some even by the same maker.
Again, it has been possible to show that various medieval European instruments such as the quadrans vetus were known already in 9th-century Baghdad.
