The small crater Van Biesbroeck, which sits astride Krieger's rim, was unevenly illuminated, with the intersections of the superimposed rims shining brightly and the rest of Van Biesbroeck barely visible.
The wrinkle ridge system that is tangent to Brayley on the (selenographic) SW side, that trends SE/NW, was prominent, as was much other detail in the area.
The only crater evident here (with 90mm) is Natasha, a neat, bright ring that appeared to have a flooded floor.

  Brayley (crater)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Brayley is a lunar impact crater located in the southwest part of the Mare Imbrium.
Just to the north of the crater is the sinuous rille named Rima Bradley, which has a length of about 240 kilometers and runs in a direction roughly northeast to southwest.
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Brayley crater.

James Island, segment of a small basaltic crater; fluidity and composition of its lava-streams, and of its ejected fragments.
Admitting the influence of the injection of lava into the structure of the volcanic cones, in increasing their bulk and elevation, he shows that, in the main, the volcanoes are built up by repeated ejections causing an accumulation of materials around the vent.

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.

 List of craters on the Moon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The large majority of these features are impact craters.
The crater nomenclature is governed by the International Astronomical Union, and this listing only includes features that are officially recognized by that body.
Where a formation has associated satellite craters, these are detailed on the main crater description pages.

 Hitchhiker's Guide to Rukl Chart 19
These isolated mountains near the southern edge of Mare Imbrium are so-called because their appearance at lunar dawn just precedes the entry of Aristarchus (Rukl chart 18) into sunlight.

We now attempted to descend a short distance within the crater; the guides, timid of its horrors, did not relish the undertaking, but were induced at length, and conducted the party behind some heaps of lava, from whence was a grand view of this awful cavern.
The crater presents the appearance of an inverted cone, the interior part of which is covered with crystallizations of salts and sulphur, of various brilliant hues--red appeared to predominate, or rather a deep orange colour.
The eye soon becomes satiated with its wildness, and turns with delight on the Sylvana region, which, with its magnificent zone of forest trees, embraces the mountain completely round: in many parts of this delightful tract are seen hills, now covered with the most luxuriant vegetation, that have been formed by different eruptions of Etna.

The crater Kepler sits at the middle of a system of light-colored rays, formed from material squirted outwards from the site of the impact which formed the crater.
The crater is about 32 km wide; the shadow in this picture might allow one to estimate the depth of its floor below the crater's rim.
At bottom center is the shallow crater la Condamine; its walls span a distance of 37 km.

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.

 List of features on the Moon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Moon's surface is covered in many interesting geologic features.
In addition to mountains, valleys, and craters, the following surface features have received names in the Lunar nomenclature.

Basaltic lavas—Numerous craters truncated on the same side—Singular structure of volcanic bombs—Aëriform explosions—Ejected granitic fragments—Trachytic rocks—Singular veins—Jasper; its manner of formation—Concretions in pumiceous tuff—Calcareous deposits and frondescent incrustations on the coast—Remarkable laminated beds, alternating with, and passing into obsidian—Origin of obsidian—Lamination of volcanic rocks.
This conclusion accords with the highly scoriaceous condition of all the rock on it, appearing to be of subærial formation; and this is important, as there are some beds of calcareous matter near its summit, which might, at a hasty glance, have been mistaken for a submarine deposit.
The lower beds generally consist of fine-grained, slightly consolidated tuffs,* and the upper beds of great loose fragments, with alternating finer beds.† One white ribbon-like layer of decomposed, pumiceous breccia, was curiously bent into deep unbroken curves, beneath each of the larger fragments in the superincumbent stratum.

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.

At the start of the evening, the terminator was just crossing crater Brayley, at selenographic longitude 37 east, creating near-optimum conditions for observing the delicate Brayley rille.
This thin dark line is as elusive on charts as on the Moon itself -- it does not appear in some of the older, small-format editions of Rukl's lunar atlas.
Further south, I could see portions of Rima Milichius, the northern half of Rima Herigonius, essentially all of the Rimae Hippalus that are shown on the large-format Rukl charts, and all of Rima Hesiodus.

It is the only fresh water on the island, so that the possibility of its being inhabited has entirely depended on the occurrence of this ferruginous layer.) One white ribbon- like layer of decomposed, pumiceous breccia, was curiously bent into deep unbroken curves, beneath each of the large fragments in the superincumbent stratum.
The hill, marked in Map 2 "Crater of an old volcano," has no claims to this appellation, which I could discover, except in being surmounted by a circular, very shallow, saucer-like summit, nearly half a mile in diameter.

The most remarkable feature is a hill 1,000 feet high, of which the upper 400 feet consist of a precipitous, singularly shaped pinnacle, formed of columnar phonolite, containing numerous crystals of glassy feldspar, and a few needles of hornblende.
