Hi,

Hausen a crater close to the lunar limb which allows only an oblique view from Earth.

Starmaster 18", DMK-21F04 camera, 30FPS, stack of 1000 frames from 2100 .

Clear & Steady Skies,

Wes Higgins

Wes -

This oblique view gives an unreal sense of being there.

Amazing!

Wes, you and Paolo are giving us a great lunar ride: it seems to be watching it out of a starship window!

This is the most impressive shot I've seen in a long time: the angle at which this crater is visible makes it a difficult subject, I'm sure, but also a very good looking one.

Ciao Wes and thanks for posting your work.

Great shot!

Using a little work with Photoshop you can get an almost heads down look.

Unbelievable Wes, it looks like your preparing for a landing with that image. I wish my nights were as good as yours. Thanks for sharing.

Clear skies,

That is a neat picture. Looks like you are flying over the moon.
