Details:
This image was taken five days ago and took a while to process with all the domes in the area. There are several more domes here that were not marked and are not visible on this image under this illumination. The domes marked with "C" followed by a number are related to the Cauchy group and the "NTA" relates to "northern Tranquillatitis domes. Prominent domes "C2" and "C3" are also known as Cauchy Omega and Cauchy Tau, respectively. Note the interesting, nearly linear, string of domes at the top of the image. Their alignment is roughly radial to the Imbrian basin. Dome labels were based on the Lunar Domes Atlas GLR group, Vitruvius Cauchy Plate, (see http://vitruviuscauchy.blogspot.com/). The website also has a very interesting discussion of this region as well as a list of the domes' coordinates, measurments, and classifications. Perhaps this area should become known as Domeland II.
