Hi,

The seeing had deteriorated some by the time I decided to image Clavius on the morning of 09/14/06 and this image is not quite as detailed as some of the earlier images I posted from that morning.

The image is very large and you may need to expand your browser window to see the full size image, see link below

Thanks,

Wes, a fantastic photo! Clavius is one of my favorite craters and I am going to use your photo to see how much detail I can pick out with my telescopes.

Hi Wes -

Just beautiful! The tiny pecks rendered with such resolution and sharpness is again incredible. I wonder if I wash my pictures and put them in a hot dryer I might shrink my craterlets to look something like this. 8)

Hope there is still more to come from this exceptional night. These images are something else!

cheers-
Alan

Hi Wes, that's good image from Clavius.
I thinks Clavius is the most impresive crater,and good for imaging.The most wanted imaging crater I think.
Overal the resolution of clavius is always good , so most images have the same resolution and that's good.

Kindly regards Richard Bosman

An incredible image nonetheless Wes! I've never seen Clavius so closely. I can only imagine what you'd have if the seeing held up. 8O
