It's taken a week to put together, and about 100,000 frames of video, but finally here's my Clavius image from data taken last Sunday in good- to very good seeing.

The image posted here is half-size. If you're feeling brave you can get the full size image here:

warning: 300kb image.

Scope: http://www.acquerra.com.au/astro/lexx.html
Capture: 9 panels, each 11000 frames, 40fps @ fl=14,000mm
red filter (Astronomik).

cheers, Bird

Absolutely superb! You keep this up and we'll never get back to the Moon.

Hi Anthony -

Superb resolution in this image! I travelled to NYC this weekend by train and had some (rare) uninterrupted time to work on processing a Clavius image from my new 41AF02 camera. It won't approach the level of detail in your shot...

cheers-
Alan
