Hi all,

Tried the Vanden/Higgins mosaic method on Arzachel, this time I split it into six slightly overlaping areas. Pretty time consuming since I had to restack in Reg 2 for each of the six areas, but it seems to have made the image uniformly sharp across the whole image. About a 10% increase in detail. At least I'm getting in some mosaic practice... can you tell its cloudy here? :S

--cheers

Hi Mike,

You have got some amazing resolution there, the central peak is the best I have seen of this crater, the multiple alignment/mosaic method really pays off but it sure is time consuming.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins
