The region around the very bright crater Aristarchus includes the Schröter valley. You can find other images of this area on these pages: Aristarchus 1 , Aristarchus 2, Aristarchus 3

It is assumed that the Schröter-Valley was formed by a lava flow.

This image was taken with my self-built 6" Dob, a 25mm TAL-Plössl eyepiece and a hand-held Nikon 4500 digital camera.
