WOW! Wes thats a razer sharp highly detailed image!!

That one blows away the Wilhelm image you did with the 14.5" come to think of it it blows away the lunar orbiter image too 8)
How was the seeing? 8/10?
I finally got the last of our square bale loads put away yesterday at our farm so I'm looking forward to some 1st quarter lunar imaging!

great work!

Hi Wes-

Stunning - the resolution is incredible!

I used the IR pass filter on Mars for the first time the other night - I was surprised how much more stable and brighter the image was than in red.

best,
Alan

Feels like I could reach down and touch the dirt.

FANTASTIC RESOLUTION 8O

I agree with Paolo that this one ranks very high in your lunar portfolio.
Thanks for posting it Wes!
