Description
This is a portion of the Lunar Orbiter IV telephoto frame 172 taken by the spacecraft on its 31st orbit during its broad photographic survey of the Moon. When this frame was exposed, the spacecraft was traveling in a northerly direction which is towards the top of the picture when the edge data are positioned on the left. The spacecraft altitude was 1,870 miles above the lunar surface. The approximate selenographic coordinates for the center of the area shown are 68 degrees West, 43 degrees South. The large crater in the lower left-hand corner of the picture is Inghirami which is about 57 miles across its diameter.
