Hi,

Gassendi was one of the proposed landing sites for the canceled Apollo 18 mission, imagine how great that would have been.

11-05-04, Starmaster 18", DMK-21F04 Firewire camera, 30FPS,
stack of 1000 frames from 2250.

Clear Skies,

Wes Higgins

Hello Wes,


Awesome image. I can see detail on the outer side of the rim at the very top of the photo. There is a whole lot of small features visible in this picture.

Nov 5th must have been a very good night for you.

Unbelieveable. That is the finest image of Gassendi I have seen.
