Directly north of it can be seen the eastern end of the Carpathian Mountains, which form the southern edge of the Mare Imbrium. The crater north-east of Copernicus is Eratosthenes; the two craters south & slightly west of it are Reinhold & Lansberg, which is just visible on the termin- ator. Photographed April 14, 1981, Meade 2080, 3xTelex, EPD 200, 2 sec.
