Lunar Mosaic, 33% Waning Crescent, 447 Meters per Pixel Scale, Day Light | Aug 13th 2020

[MalVeauX]

Heya,

It's already cloudy and thundering, but this morning I was able to at least take a glimpse at our lovely satellite Luna at 33% waning crescent phase  which highlights the jagged ridges of Sinus Iridum and shows the war like basin within Mare Humorum. This data was captured in infrared 742nm during day light under fair seeing conditions for the image scale. The resolution is approximately 447 meters per pixel.

If interested, the full resolution image (8100 x 4300 pixels) is available on my Astrobin: 

++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Examples of the resolution from the full disc mosaic:

Mare Humorum (one of my favorite features is the Rimae Hippalus that looks like a giant claw gnash)

Sinus Iridum (the shadows on the north of the structure are jagged and sharp showing the peaks and ridges that it's not smooth but rather course)
