The following images were
taken at the 18th of April. The Moon was waning at an age of 19.2 days with an
illumination of 84.9%. The libration was very favorable for the region around
Schickard at the southwestern limb (see images of Moretus, Newton, Drygalski
and Hausen).

The images from this day belong to the best images ever taken
with the C14. The resolution should be slightly better than 1 km at the
ground.
The images around Gardner and Cauchy rille show many
examples of lunar domes. The crater Theophilus claerly shows different rock
stratums in the central mountains.
All images was taken at the prime focus of the
C14 SC using a Celestron SkyRis 445 M webcam together with a Baader IR
Passfilter. Stacking each 144/1.200 frames with AviStack 1.8.

The 4-frame mosaic (image before last) shows the three huge
crater Theophilus, Cyrillus, Catharina as well as the region from Rupes Altai
to the crater Rabbi Levi. It is the image with the highest resolution of this
area within our work.
