If this is the impact site I think all the dark patch shows is ejecta with the actual crater being too small to resolve. The larger crater amidst the dark area cannot be the LM impact crater as it appears in Apollo 15 images. -------------------- It's a funny old world - A man's lucky if he gets out of it alive. - W.C.
