Planche 6 - Moumouris (Aratus A (1935); Galen (current))

Chemla-Lamèch named some craters after notable people he knew from Corfu, where he had founded the Corfu Observatory in 1924.
This particular crater was named "Moumouris", after Don Constantin Moumouris.
However, in 1935 the IAU (International Astronomical Union) didn't accept this designation; it was designated 896 "Aratus A". Current name: "Galen", ID 2072.
