85.1276° S, 151.7574° E · cell BCG
- Highest horizon point
- Wiechert P: 11.0° above the horizontal, 10.6 km away at azimuth 149°.
- Farthest visible point
- 23.6 km away at azimuth 308°, 2.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 4,152 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time

Peaks on the skyline
- 149° Wiechert P, 10.6 km away, 11.0° high, 2,092 m above the ground here
A ray every 0.5 degrees out to 200 km across the NASA LRO LOLA terrain, the curvature of the Moon included; each peak is named only when an IAU feature's mapped footprint lies over the point that forms it. Smooth terrain between samples, no boulders.
