Interesting features on the surface on the Moon

 I have so far concentrated on the beautiful craters on the Moon. Both large and barely visible in my telescopes. But while looking at the the surface, I noticed some other features. Like faults on the surface. And I decided to try to enhance them. Particularly one area intrigued me. After conferring with the detailed images in Luna Cognita, I identified the parts.

In the image below, the horizontal "canyon" on the right, is called Rimae Ariadaeus. The v-shaped line is several smaller craters embedded into it. But they are hardly seen on this image. Needs more aperture to see them properly. The line is called Rima Hyginus, after the crater at the center, Hyginus.

In the lower part of the image, one can see thin lines. These are called Rimae Triesnecker. Named after the large crater to the left is also called Triesnecker. The crater at the top is called Manilius.
