Seeing was poor, managed to get some close ups.

Did not have a time to make full mosaic, clouds rolled in.

That is in close... look at all those little crates on Clavius' floor. Nice work.

Thanks John,

if only seeing was better

wanted to take it even closer

[kris h]

Excellent images resonator77 they are close with great detail

[resonator77]

thanks Kris

[zedds]

Those are great images. Really close and detailed. Well done.

[Clayton]

Very nicely done a mosaic at that resolution would be amazing

[TopHouse]

Looking good and I agree, a full mosaic at that res when the conditions are right would be a beauty

[resonator77]

a mosaic at this scale would require 250 to 300 pane

[TopHouse]

Go for it!!!

Of the two i think The Moretus shot is the better, Showing quite some nice detaile there, Not sure if its the seeing, or if you didnt extend the mapping close enough to the edge, theres a little bluring on the left of moretus, if its processing then a redo would sort that out, The new avi stack 2 has automatic processing, so no need to know how to run it, should put these through that, i suspect it would do better, if mapping is the problem.

But i like that Moretus, a nice soft glow and good detail reminds me of a certain Nick. ( hope he doesnt mind me saying that )

[just looking]

Wow I Have never seen the moon that close fantastic pics

its that close you could see footprints

if they were any of course ;o)

[resonator77]

Thanks Neil

I thought the same, second image was on terminator that is why I think it came out better.

[TheThing]

Fantastic!

What equipment/settings did you use?

[resonator77]

The Thing,

C9.25, Lumenera mono, about 7000mm focal length with x3 barlow

Although the seeing was rather poor, then clouds rolled in
