Copernicus Hires

Hi,

Copernicus being a relatively young crater has few small craters on the floor and on Hires images I always look for the few small craters and on this image I was lucky enough to catch a few of them, favorable lighting helps too.

Hi Wes -

Fantastic image - your shots always manage to shed new light even on old favorites!

Once again I have a wonderful benchmark for a picture I am working on (I am just too slow!). We have been without power here since the recent storm and will probably be without until sometime next week (70% of the city of Buffalo is dark - fortunately my office has power) - the long dark nights should give me some time to get some work done on my laptop.

best wishes -
Alan

Thanks everyone for taking the time to view the image and for the comments.

Clear and steady skies,

Wes Higgins
