They are typically formed by highly viscous, possibly silica-rich lava, erupting from localized vents followed by relatively slow cooling.
Lunar domes are wide, rounded, circular features with a gentle slope rising in elevation a few hundred meters to the mid-point.
Some of the domes contain a small craterlet at the peak.
Some of the domes have been shown to consist of the same materials as the lunar maria.

A Unibrain Fire-i 785b (Monochrome) camera was used with ATIK motorized filter wheel
or QHY5L-II(High QE!) - Monochrome
camera was used with SupaSlim Filter Wheel.
A Televue 3x barlow was used to increase the effective focal length and consequent magnification.
