More than 60,000 images of Mercury were taken at 29° elevation during 2 sunrises in late March 2007, at 820 nm, and through a 1.35 m diameter off-axis aperture on the SOAR telescope. The sharpest resolve 0.”2 (140 km) and cover 190-300° longitude, a swath unseen by Mariner 10, at complementary phase angles to previous ground-based optical imagery. Evident are the large crater Mozart and other features shadowed on the terminator, fresh rayed craters with radar counterparts, and other bright features keyed to topography and radar reflectivity. Classical feature Liguria resolves across the NW boundary of the Caloris basin into a sharp, 20 km diameter radar crater. It is the brightest feature within a darker "cap” (classical feature Solitudo Phoenicis) that covers much of the northern hemisphere between longitudes 80-250°. We will discuss possible origins of this cap, and properties of the detected craters.
