Observation Notes:<\/b><\/p>\n

This was my first lunar sketch in a lonnnng time. Schiller was very nicely placed. Its northern stretch was in the thickest shadow with one mountain peak illuminated. A ridge peeled away from the southeast side of the crater and was bounded by Bayer on the other side. The crater floor was smooth and dark. Due to its position near the limb, there is surely a lot of perspective making it seem even more elongated than it really is. I can imagine multiple impacts generating Schiller’s oval shape.<\/p>\n

Object Information:<\/b><\/p>\n

Shiller is a steep walled, 171 km x 71 km plain with a larger, smooth souther portion that narrows to the north. The northern section is crossed by two large north-south ridges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
