LPOD Photo Gallery Lunar Orbiter Images Apollo Images (the mentioned Apollo photograph (AS12-54-8107) doesn't show Maestlin G, it's off-screen due west (left) of the frame's upper left corner) - DannyCaes DannyCaes Feb 18, 2014

  • The "binary system" of bowl-shaped craterlets Maestlin G was captured on Apollo 12's orbital Hasselblad AS12-54-8109. This photograph also shows Apollo Landing Site 5, slightly southeast of Maestlin G.
  • The doublet Maestlin G is also detectable on chart 27 in the 21st Century Atlas of the Moon (Wood/ Collins), at location H-8/9 (very near the chart's lower right corner).
  • Close ups of Maestlin G were made by Lunar Orbiter 2, of which Frame 2197 shows the couple at centre of the photograph.
  • Much more close ups of Maestlin G were made by Lunar Orbiter 3, of which Frame 3161 shows an oblique look at the pair.
  • Research Lunar Orbiter 2, Lunar Orbiter 3, and Apollo 12 photography, and chart 27 (21st Century Atlas): Danny Caes

Nomenclature

Michael; German mathematician (1550-1631).
  • This name was originally introduced as Möstlin by [/Schmidt Schmidt] ([/Whitaker Whitaker], p. 224), and adopted in the original [/IAU%20nomenclature IAU nomenclature] as Moestlin. [/Kuiper Kuiper] thought the name could be confused with [/M%C3%B6sting Mösting] and decided to change the spelling in his [/PLA%20Table%20III Photographic Lunar Atlas]. His revised spelling (the current form) was approved by the IAU in 1961 (along with most of his other proposed changes). - JimMosher JimMosher
  • Binary System (Danny Caes's nickname for the couple of bowl-shaped craters Maestlin G).
