This image was made with a Sony 10.2 MP DSLR attached to a 560mm f7 Stellarvue Aplanet achro scope. The original image was equivalent to a 17 power telephoto one. I cropped, resized,sharpened, and adjusted contrast until I ended up with this. I think that I can barely make out the sixth craterlet in Clavius. Image made 2 miles from DFW airport (560 ft. A.S.L) on a humid night.
