Lunar South Pole
Sketch and Details by Fred Corno
Please find attached an observation of the lunar South pole, the Eastern face: the observing session was carried out from northern Italy, with a 5” apo refractor, at 100x. Unfortunately, poor seeing and haze did not allow the use of a higher magnification. The observation was carried out at 21.15 UT on the 28th of May 2009.
I believe craters depicted are Boussingault (the southernmost, with the striped bottom) and Boguslawsky (the westernmost, with the shadowed bottom and the wall interrupted by a smaller crater. Just north of Boussingault is the complex of Boussingault E, B and C. If anybody can help with a better identification, it will be very welcome.
The sketch was made with hard and soft graphite pencils on white paper.
Best rtegards.

Fred,
Excellent sketching of the south polar region.
Your crater identification looks correct to me.
Very well done.
