SE lunar sector again

Hi all,

To make definitively justice with this rarely imaged area, I captured
again the lunar SE sector 24 hrs apart from my early image.

The big crater in the bottom-left corner is Curtius.
Please, notice the odd craterlet chain inside Jacobi crater (a while
above the center of the image) looking like the ‘bouncing path’ of a
rolling stone.

Another odd feature can be seen as a long slit/valley starting from
Pentland DA crater (the double crater placed at 1 o’ clock respect
Pentland) and running on the right toward the darkness.
Other similar valley are also seen.
As a reference with names, you may want to use this LO image:

More to follow.
