Hi all,

Last one from my imaging run, good old Clavius! I know its been imaged to death but hey it is pretty spectacular! I like the way this one turned out the detail is good for only 5000mm FL.

Really nice shot, Mike. I've always thought that the six craterlets in the arc were formed by a comet or asteroid that broke up, with the largest piece first and smallest last. I sense gravity and rotation in play in this case.

Hi Mike,

Excellent! Clavius, your 5000mm image has almost the same detail and resolution as my 8000mm FL image and the lower lighting shows the features better.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Congrats, Mike!

I do not post often here, but your image is just extraordinary, very fine processing without much artefacts, a real reference and challenge.

Excellent detail Mike. Yes it gets imaged to death but of course there's a good reason, its hard to resist such a spectacular sight and with a result like this I'm glad you didn't! smile

Regards,
Stefan
