Hello Wes,


Amazing detail on the crater floor. Of all the ones you have posted from your new scope so far this is my favorite.

Very nice. Very smooth with little noise, I'd say the exposure was set perfectly.

Hi Wes,
What a great image! The sharpness/smoothness of the image is just astounding. Perfect processing!

I too imaged Copernicus the other night as well, but I would be embarrassed to post mine after this lovely image. I am just astounded at the quality of your postings, especially since you got the 18" Starmaster. That scope is just incredible.

Cheers and Clear Skies,
Tyler
