    Theophilus-Cyrillus Crater Pair Survey

    Type: Lunar Feature Location: Southern hemisphere network node Magnitude: — Date: 2024-03-02 Status: Confirmed Observer: D. Okoro

    Professional lunar mapping already exists at far higher resolution than anything our network can produce, so this project isn’t about new discovery — it’s about building a consistent, amateur-equipment-resolution reference atlas that other volunteer observers can calibrate their own imaging against.

    The Theophilus-Cyrillus pair is a good early target: high contrast, well-documented, and forgiving of minor tracking error. This frame is now part of our internal atlas alongside twelve other named crater regions imaged over the past two years.

    Clear skies help

    Own a telescope? We can use the clear nights.

    Apogee is free to join for any observer with a documented setup. We provide the scheduling software and target list — you provide the sky.
