I am always eager to see one of your images of the Moon. And, this one does not disappoint! Wonderful! grin

Hi Wes,

A great shot. The floor detail is really fine. Thats the best image ive seen of that crater.

Have you tried the firewire camera on Saturn or Jupiter?. Just curious as to how it performs, as i tried one somewhile back, but it lacked good sensitivity for Planetary work.

Best Wishes

Damian
