Hi all,

Got a small window of imaging tonight before clouds rolled in. This was the 1st of two craters I did, I used a 3X's barlow with my 18" Starmaster. Its a stack of 117 done in reg2 and processed in Images Plus. I'm working on tonights Plato right now, I accidentaly used the 5X's barlow but I think it turned out well, the seeing was 6-7/10 at times, I caught 30-40 craterlets in the floor of plato, I'm pretty excited about that!

I'll post it soon

cheers

Mike Wirths

The shadows of the crater rim in this image and in your Plato image are so velvety and crisp - it looks like a lunar orbiter image. These are among the best I have seen.

Thanks for posting them.
