This image was taken during the Apollo 17 mapping metric sequence, revolution #14. The selenographic coordinates of this image are 20° N, 35.90° E.

At the center of this image is the dome-like Mons Maraldi, and just to the southwest is the flooded Maraldi crater. Most of the eastern half of this view is occupied by the Sinus Amoris, a lunar mare, and the flooded remnants of older formations. The bowl-shaped crater in the southwest corner is Gardner, and the cup-shaped crater at top-center is Franck.

This picture was produced by reducing a Hi-res image to 25% of full size, then rotating 90° counter-clockwise so that north is toward the top edge.
