Hi Wes -

Glorious!

You are recording craters that have never been seen or named and I am seeing the potential for a new business - the crater registry. We know it is bogus to name stars but perhaps craters??? I would like one (small, with a little raised rim please smile

wonderful work, as always -

Alan

Wow just absolutly stunning!! I found your image taken with the DMK, which was on LPOD and comparing the 2 your new Abulfeda image just blows it away detail wise and image feel wise! It must be pretty awseome seeing the huge display at this resolution!
What was the seeing like around 7/10?
I got an annoying call today from Lumenera saying they are renegging on their agreement to trade my Lu75 for the new Infinity2-2, apparently its because I did'nt get it direct through them....sooo I have to pack up the Lu075 send it to Paolo in Italy and just get the camera from him! Sheeesch I could have just driven 100km and traded it in person.
All because of the bean counters!!

hope to see more from you soon!

cheers

Mike
