Hi all,

The same night I shot my Cauchy area picture I also imaged the crater Fracastorius. The shot was taken on the 5th August at 5:10 am EDT with my 18" dob and the Atik camera.
The seeing was 5-6/10.

thanks

Mike Wirths

Mike,

A nice showing showing detail within the walls and rilles over the floor. Thank you for sharing this image with us all.

Mike,

Another very detailed image, what was the exposure time
for the Atik camera.

Thanks,
