Hi,

I just finished processing this Teophhilus from 03/16/05 and then saw that Paolo
had posted a Teophilus and I started to not post another one but I decided to go ahead and post it.

Starmaster 18" Newt.,DMK-21F04 camera, 30FPS, stack of 199 frames from 2100,
Baader 685nm IR Pass Filter.
The seeing was very variable and I could only get 199 good frames

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Hi Wes -

I'm glad you did post and give us the opportunity to compare two fine images. The very sharp central mountains contrasted with a softer outer crater walls creates an interesting effect. Was the central area processed differently?

Beautiful result -
