Struve, Eddington & Russell
This
image just happens to be a bit smaller than, but a very similar
orientation to "Plate 17. Struve" of Antonín Rükl's Atlas of the Moon.
Struve (170km), the remains of a flooded walled plain is along the terminator experiencing dawn. Already in full daylight are the remains of the flooded walled plain Eddington (125km). The last flooded walled plain above them in this image is Russell, at 103km. The large crater below them at the bottom of the frame is Krafft. It is 51km in diameter and has a flooded floor. The crater near the center of the frame is Seleucus (43km) and directly above that is Briggs (37km) and then Briggs B.
