Hi -

This region of scattered rubble separating the Mare Imbrium and Mare Frigoris would be of little visual interest if not for it's famous and beautiful resident crater.

A mosaic of four images (approximately 100 frames used from each) captured with the A-P 10" mak/cass on August 16, 2006.

best wishes -
Alan

Hi Alan,

Another fantastic image from your magical night in August. As usual your processing is as good as it gets! If you ever decide to teach a course in processing, I'll be the first in line to take it. grin

Regards,
Ed Roach

Alan,

Simply beautiful in many ways. I don't believe I ever noticed the tiny rille to the left of Plato just beyond the debris plane.

I will also take you up on any processing courses you teach.

Thanks for sharing.

Chase
