Hi,

18" Starmaster, DMK-21F04 Firewire camera,30FPS,
850 frames from 2000
The low Sun angle decreases the resolution on the crater walls but helps to enhance the resolution on
the crater floor

Thanks,

Hello Wes,


Very impressive image. I see something in your picture I have not noticed before. If you look in the illuminated area on the far right side there appears to be a small chain of craters that slope upwards from left to right.

Wes,

How did you get your telescope into lunar orbit?

Can you estimate the resolution? (I dont have
time to do this anymore -- but it looks like
you are below 0.1" -- great work)

Simply outstanding!

AMAZING!

Thanks for sharing Wes!

Good grief Wes when I saw this pic of yours last night I was dumbfounded!!! You must have had some near perfect seeing for short periods that morning!!
This pic is the equal or better to Bruno D's Clavius, and his scope is a 24"! I like the way you processed it too, just awesome!! I know what you mean about almost getting tears in your eyes when you saw the video on your screen. When the seeings really good you just have that epiphany that yup this is THE one!!

--congrats

Wow - I can see people waving at the camera!

Geeez Wes! Your shots are getting so good people will get convinced we don't need to go there anymore!

Best,

Jose
