Image request for lunar dome in Promontorium Laplace

A lunar dome in Promontorium Laplace has been imaged by Maximilian Teodorescu from Romania. The excellent CCD terrestrial image taken by Teodorescu, under oblique solar illumination, displays the dome termed La 1 very well, demonstrating as high resolution CCD imagery of the elusive lunar domes is useful for the recognition of non-cataloged domes.
The Lunar Domes section encourages more high-resolution imagery of this area. Please click here to read the preliminary note of the dome near Promontorium Laplace, including a description of the spectral analyses.
