Hi,

Between a bad back and bad weather I have not been out imaging for three weeks now :C , the back is better, now if only the weather will cooperate smile
This image was taken on 08/25/05, Infinity 2-1 camera, 28fps, IR pass filter, stack of 500 frames.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Hi Wes -

Handsome image of a challenging target!

I shot a lot of video last month of the region surrounding Plato - I'm looking forward to big mosaic project when mars is done and our skies close down for the winter.

Glad to hear you are feeling better. grin

Exellent Wes. Beautiful detail!! On the left of the image above the vally there is a mountain with an absolutley perfectly placed craterlet on its peak. Serendipitous meteoroid strike or is that a volcanic crater cone?

Hi Wes,

A great image of one of my favorite lunar subjects. The Infinity is producing some gorgeous images. Now that your back has recovered, I hope your skies do as well.

Clear skies,

Hello Wes,



Spectacular image. I looked at it for 10 minutes just enjoying all the lunar detail.

Was this 8-bit ot 12-bit?
