		This is a drawing of the crater Eudoxus (top) and the broken ramparts of Alexander (the group of brillantly lit semi-circular mountains).
		The crater Maginus (top) still filled with a pool of lunar night and the odd squarish shaped crater Orontius (middle of the drawing) is overlapped by the crater Huggins which is in turn overlapped by the crater Nasireddin.

		However, a long, narrow ray was visible along the highlands north of Walter, in the vicinity of Regiomontanus and the north end of Deslandres.
		At approximately 07:42 UT I spotted a "reverse" triangular shadow being cast from an object on the western wall onto the illuminated crater floor.
		Like several other craters in the area (notably Orontius and Walter) it has dark "rays" or spray markings on the western side, more or less oriented in the direction of Tycho.

		The large faint crater low on the terminator (most evident in the enlargement) is Deslandres.
		Unfortunately Galileo emphasizes both in the drawing and in his description that the floor of his large crater is bright on the side away from the Sun and dark on the side towards it.
		While this is true of small bowl-shaped craters, the floor of Deslandres is so large and flat that the Moon's curvature always causes it to be bright on the side towards the Sun and dark on the side away from it, as can be readily seen in our photo.

		Pitatus is a battered crater on the southern shores of Mare Nubium.
		It is connected by a narrow valley to the neighbouring crater Hesiodus, which has a small crater (Hesiodus D) at its centre in place of the more-usual mountain.
		The crater Hell is within a much larger crater called Deslandres, most of which is outside this picture.

		It is approximately radial to the Imbrium basin but it does not look like a secondary crater chain.
		Finally, observe that many crater floors in this area are rough, containing numerous small impact craters and some small hills.

		The large oval ¼ of the way down from the north lunar pole is the Mare Serenitatis, with the Caucasus and Haemus mountains extending onto the dark half of the disc.
		The large crater bisected by the terminator has prompted many suggestions to its identity.
		Tycho and Copernicus are popular candidates, though their size and position are a poor match, doing a great disservice to Galileo's draughtsmanship.

		Concerning the orientation of the red and blue was on the crater he stated that he did not remember since he failed to take any notes.
		Keith Curtis saw a very strong coloration around the rim of the craters, where Robert Manske saw the entire region covered by this red and blue coloration and he could not see the interior of the craters underneath.

		Some of the interesting craters near the terminator (the line dividing light and shadow) are Pitatus (105km in diameter), Tycho (84km), and Clavius (225km).
		Tycho is a relatively young and fresh crater- you can tell because it appears brighter than its surroundings.
		Clavius, on the other hand, is an old, heavily eroded crater that has a string of smaller craters inside of it.
