[edit] Summary

This image was created Apollo 15 mapping metric sequence, sequence #60. It is at selenographic coordinates 28.50° N, 35° W. The prominent crater in the upper half is Delisle, and the crater in the lower half is Diophantus. Just visible between the two is the sinuous rille named Rima Diophantus. To the northeast of Delisle crater is another rille named Rima Delisle. To the southwest of Deslisle is Mons Delisle, a ridge in the mare surface.

This image was created by reducing the hi-res. copy to 25% size, then rotating 90° counter-clockwise so that north is to the top.
