Hi,

I have been wanting to get a good high sun angle Clavius and I finally did back on 08/25/05 and I just got around to processing it, I was surprised at the detail in the larger craters.

18" Reflector, Infinity 2-1 camera, 680nm IR pass filter, 25 FPS, stack of 500 frames, 14 alignment points.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Wes,

That is so good it's hard to find normal landmarks, we have to search new points of interest at higher resolution now. There are rilles or ridges in there I've never seen before, like aff the 2nd largest crater inside Clavius...WOW!!

Yikes! I don't need to open another image for comparison to know I am seeing detail I have not seen before.

Wes, I think you need to follow Michelle Wie's lead and turn pro! grin

You have the lowest lunar handicap on the planet.

Beautiful image. That is the best Clavious image bar none. How does the Infinity camera compare with the other cameras you are experienced with?

Hi Wes,
That is the most amazing image of Clavius I believe I have ever seen. The detail is unbelievable. We have come to expect high quality images from you but this is amazing!

Just amazing Wes 8) Your image has a slight edge in resolution over Bruno Daversins image of Clavius!! Yours however was captured much nicer with almost no burned in areas! Wow lots of work 14 points! I have yet to even get a good enough avi to warrent the multiple pt alignment technique....still hopefull for better seeing though wink

congrats

Mike
