CAUCHY
The central part of Mare Tranquilitatis. The most interesting area is in the neighborhood of the crater Cauchy, where, under low illumination, a modest telescope will show rilles, a striking fault Rupes Cauchy and the typical domes Omega Cauchy and Tau Cauchy. On the summit of Omega Cauchy is a small crater that is visible with a large telescope. A narrow rille is present to the west of the crater Maskelyne (lower left-hand edge of the map).
