Hi all,

I think this ones my favorite, lots of dramatic detail! The jagged shadows of the Alps, the cool steep walled crater Callipus to the right. Lots to look at. I used PS CS to finish the highlights.

Mike,

Absolutely beautiful! What type of scope and imaging equipment did you use? How do you use 14 align points? Thanks.

Mike;
You are completely on your game with these latest images. I rate this to be the best lunar shot I have seen.
