Hello guys,

here is another Copernicus that I judged above my standard lunar images. I could sure use a bit of advice on processing here smile

Hi Luca -

A very fine Copernicus and the processing is very smooth and natural. It is funny to see it - I only took 3 video streams of the moon this week because the seeing was very poor - one of them is Copernicus at almost the same sun angle as this.

Did you use a multiple alignment process on this image? The Copernicus itself is nice and sharp, but some of the small craters in the surrounding terrain seem not to have been resolved. Aligning the selected frames on these outlying areas might be worth the effort on such a nice image.

best wishes -
Alan
