Fracastorius and Piccolomini

[Ford Prefect]

Hi

This is a single frame of a mosaic I tried on Sunday morning, unfortunately I still have a lot to learn when it goes to overlapping frames . Hence why Im posting a single frame

It was taken using a C11 edge and DFK21

Piccolomini is a prominent lunar impact crater located in the southeastern sector of the Moon. The crater Rothmann lies to the west-southwest, and to the south is Stiborius. The lengthy Rupes Altai begins at the western rim of Piccolomini, curving to the northwest. The crater is named after 16th century Italian Archbishop and astronomer Alessandro Piccolomini. It is 88 kilometers in diameter and 4,500 meters deep. It is from the Upper Imbrian period, 3.8 to 3.2 billion years ago

Fracastorius is the lava-flooded remnant of an ancient lunarimpact crater located at the southern edge of Mare Nectaris. To the northwest of this formation lies the crater Beaumont, while to the northeast is Rosse.

The northern wall of this crater is missing, with only mounds appearing in the lunar mare to mark the outline. The lava that formed Mare Nectaris also invaded this crater, so the structure now forms a bay-like extension. The remainder of the rim is heavily worn and covered in lesser impact craters, leaving little of the original rim intact. The maximum elevation of the rim is 2.4 km. The most prominent of these craters is Fractastorius D, which overlies a portion of the western rim.

Fracastorius has no central peak, but a long, slender rille runs across the middle of the floor in a generally east-west direction.

The crater commemorates the Italian scholar, astronomer and poet Girolamo Fracastoro, "Fracastorius" (1478‑1553).

Are you in the wrong section...? Not seen you in here before!!!

Very nice mate, looks like the DFK is working out well for you.

There is a great bit of software called IMERGE, that will make putting the mosaic together a piece of cake!!!

Looking forward to seeing the end result!

Cheers
