Hi everyone,

I took this image the same night as Walter. Heraclitus caught my eye because I thought it kind of looked like a ladybug or beetle.

Edmund Optics R+IR band filter
Seeing 5-6/10

Hi Ed,

Superb image, very detailed with out being over processed, it looks like an LPOD image to me, did you do multiple alignments on this image.

Thanks,

Ed, superbly done shot of a very interesting crater grouping!! But I think Paolo beat you to the LPOD that was done a little while back, still I'm sure Chuck Wood really likes getting rare shots of craters that are not imaged very often!!


cheers
