An image of the prominent crater Lichtenberg with a diameter of 20 km. The crater shows a 1300 m height difference between crater floor and surrounding lava plain. The actual target of this observation was the 'ghost' crater on the lower left of Lichtenberg. It is almost hidden by overflown lava from Oceanus Procellarum in which it is located.
