The Domes of Mare Insularum

[CraigT82]

Haven't managed to get any new lunar images for a while so I've been looking through older images trying to pick up on lunar features I've previously overlooked. 

I found this image of Mare Insularum captured in January (Fullerscope, 290m and blue filter), and I don't know how I missed then the first time around, but there are a good number of lunar domes visible due to the favourable illumination.... I count about a dozen. For reference Hortensius crater with it's associated domes, is towards the lower centre-right.

I've reprocessed the image and pushed the contrast and exposure a more than I would normally to bring out the Domes as much as possible.

Interesting Craig. The illumination and processing certianly brings them out.  Nice capture

Nice image Craig - lots of interesting detail to look at. Well done.
