- Small pyroclastic deposit (area = 297 km^2) on N rim. Gaddis, L. (1999) Lunar Pyroclastic Volcanism Project.
- On the western part of Daguerre's floor is a remarkable ray-craterlet with 3/4 ejectablanket (270°) around it. The 90° southward of the craterlet's southern rim is untouched. The craterlet's interior (the southern inner slopes) also show this absence of bright material. This curious craterlet is described and depicted in several NASA-books (see Bibliography below).
- More ghost craters than meet the eyes?
Left: Two DEM (Digital Elevation Model) views with lighting condidtions from west (top) and east (bottom) respectively to show up any depressed regions (due to possible ghost craters) in the Daguerre area.
Right: Two views (mosaic of WAC's M117277030ME, M117270264ME, M117263469ME and M117256674ME) showing where the ghosts craters may lie - (top) annotated, (bottom) same view. Click image for larger view. DEM images processed by LTVT and WAC images by LROC_WAC_Previewer.- JohnMoore2
Nomenclature
Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre (November 18, 1787 – July 10, 1851) was the French artist and chemist who is recognized for his invention of the daguerreotype process of photography.
