Title: Petavius crater
My name: Silvia Fabi
Object name: Petavius
Object type: moon’s crater
Location: Ferrara
Date: 13/04/2013
Media: HB pencil on white paper
Seeing: III (Antoniadi)
Description: this is my favourite crater! It has a diameter of 177 Km and it’s deep 3,4 Km. It is a very intresting crater because it has a lot of central peaks and near this impact crater there are many floor’s irregularities and shadows.
All observed with a Sky Watcher Dobson 254 mm, 200x magnifications.
