Montes Apenninus

After photographing Mars last night I turned to the moon for the first time in many years. This area really particularly struck  me, I love the details and contrast of textures. 

Taken with 250PDS and ZWO 1600MM Pro and a 3x barlow. 

Updated version with less sharpening artefacts:

Excellent image, just love the detail.

Whoa! Great image @AbsolutelyN!

Excellent image. It's so sharp and magnified that if you were in apollo 11 before landing you would see that picture. Very nice

Thanks, I think the high contrast helps with impression of sharpness. Just updated the image - I think the original was actually oversharpened.

Nice image....was it a single image or a stack?  Looks like the seeing was good.

Thanks. It's a stack from a 60 second avi - stacked in AutoStakkert with 50% of the frames.
