Orontius crater

Having a lot of fun going through these higher res shots. More carefully. Orontius crater doesnt get a lot of attention. But always loved its irregular shape 

The shadows in Stofler look quite cool. 

I shouldnt have used the slight extension on the 2x barlow. It wasnt needed. Infact 1.5 would likely be more optimal. As such 75% seems to work better. Though there could be a case for downsizing as a technique to produce a finer result. So starting from such a large image scale also works sort of. Anyway next time i would do a straight 2x. As i dont have a 1.5 x Barlow. Registax top wavelet only,100%. Gaussian mode. 650 frames. Noise reduction image analyzer. levels and sharpening.
